Headwall's Hyperspec sensors are used in applications ranging from ground-based and handheld up to aircraft and Earth-orbiting satellites. Hyperspectral imaging represents a required tool for the scientific research community, which can quickly and non-destructively image anything within the field of view to determine its chemical and spectral fingerprint. The company's sensors employ diffractive optics, which use aberration-corrected gratings to deliver high performance with respect to high spatial and spectral resolution, high signal-to-noise, and a wide field of view. Remote sensing using small and light sensors mounted to hand-launched UAVs is a fast-growing application area that the company has pioneered. Other application areas include advanced machine vision, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and mining and mineral exploration.
