The Spectral and Polarimetric Imagery Collection Experiment (SPICE) is a collaborative effort between the US Army ARDEC and ARL for the collection of mid-wave and long-wave infrared imagery using hyperspectral, polarimetric, and broadband sensors.

Accurate radiometric calibration is a key feature of modern infrared cameras. Considering the newly available infrared focal plane arrays (FPA) exhibiting very high spatial resolution and faster readout speed, we developed a method to provide a dedicated radiometric calibration of every pixel.

The Telops Hyper-Cam midwave (InSb 1.5–5.5μm) imaging Fourier-transformspectrometer observed the plume from a coal-burning power plant smokestack.

The midwave and longwave infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum contain rich information which can be captured by hyperspectral sensors thus enabling enhanced detection of targets of interest.

DRDC Valcartier recently completed the development of the CATSI EDM (Compact Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer Engineering Development Model) for the Canadian Forces (CF). It is a militarized sensor designed to meet the needs of the CF in the development of area surveillance capabilities for the detection and identification of chemical Warfare Agents (CWA) and toxic industrial chemicals (TIC).

Airborne hyperspectral ground mapping is being used in an ever-increasing extent for numerous applications in the military, geology and environmental fields.

The midwave and shortwave infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum contain rich information enabling the characterization of hot, rapid events such as explosions, engin plumes, flares and other combustion events.
