Size, weight and power are traditionally limiting factors for unmanned airborne deployment of long wave infrared (LWIR) hyperspectral imaging systems. Spectrum Photonics’ novel HyCARS technology has resulted in the development of a near optimally sized cooled LWIR hyperspectral imaging system by integrating the spectral optics directly within the camera dewar. The completed HyCARS system, which includes an integrated zoom lens, roll correction, calibration and on-board processing, recently completed an airborne demonstration. The HyCARS system design approach, performance specifications, airborne platform integration, results from recent flight testing, and pathways for future development will be described.
