Co-Aligned VNIR-SWIR
Hyperspec Co-Aligned VNIR-SWIR Sensor

The Hyperspec Co-Aligned VNIR-SWIR Sensor (Co-Aligned VNIR-SWIR) is a passive pushbroom spectrometer manufactured by Headwall Photonics. It can be used for airborne and ground-based imaging but is typically flown on uncrewed aerial systems (UAS). It provides spectral imagery across the visible and near-infrared (VNIR, 400-1000 nm) and short-wave infrared (SWIR, 900-2500 nm) spectrums. Co-Aligned VNIR-SWIR has an across-track spatial resolution of 0.41 meters and a nominal swath width of 264 meters for an altitude of 460 meters above ground level.
