The Airborne Ocean Color Imager (AOCI) was an airborne multispectral imaging spectrometer developed by Daedalus Enterprises. It measured visible and infrared radiance over water to evaluate chlorophyll levels and turbidity. It operated across 0.436-12.279 μm, with eight spectral channels in the visible and near-infrared and two in the thermal infrared. AOCI had a spatial resolution of 49.5 meters at nadir from an altitude of 19,800 meters. Its scan rate ranged from 10 to 100 scans per second.
