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