Elbit launches hyperspectral payload, fitted for Hermes

Issue No. 4 | February 16-29, 2012

Elbit Systems has expanded its portfolio of payloads with the recent launch of a Hermes 450 and Hermes 900 unmanned air system (UAS) hyperspectral payload with new revolutionary intelligence capabilities.

Based on Elbit Systems Electro-Optics Elop’s proprietary research, the unique, innovative hyperspectral imaging technology enables simultaneous imaging of the region of interest at different wavelengths. The unique payload is capable of imaging the spectral signature of the imaged materials, which is unique to every material in nature, just like a fingerprint. Using a very sensitive imaging technology, the system can perform remote sensing at an extremely high resolution. The innovative hyperspectral technology introduces a new, additional dimension to the world of intelligence gathering, by enabling detection and tracking of targets on the basis of their material signature. The new payload enables intelligence gathering via identification, measurement and tracking of materials and objects including uncovering low signature military activity and invisible obstacles, as well as identification of hazardous materials.
