Airborne Reconnaissance

Airborne reconnaissance acquires and interprets imagery of strategic regions for different purposes, for example military intelligence.

Ranging from cameras attached to pigeons used during the First World War to today’s fully autonomous unmanned aircraft flying at various altitudes, these platforms utilize imaging systems for airborne reconnaissance.

Hyperspectral Imaging systems, considered one of the most powerful technologies, are now deployed for airborne reconnaissance with special-purpose manned and unmanned aircraft. Beyond situational awareness, airborne reconnaissance performed with Hyperspectral Imaging technology collects dense spectral information of areas on the earth’s surface and of objects of interest.
