HYPERVISION - Tactical ISR System for Small UAVs

OKSI will implement a single board computer based on a multi-core processor, capable of real-time digital signal processing within the power and size constraints of a UAV the size of the Silver Fox. OKSI's existing hyperspectral band selection algorithm will be ported to this environment. The system will be able to run optimal band selection and anomaly detection algorithms in real time. Digital bands will be transmitted to the ground using a digital transceiver to produce a continuous waterfall display on the ground station. The image will be rendered in near true color and will have the ability to highlight suspected threats. A complete system architecture of the payload will be developed, including a VNIR and a SWIR micro-hyperspectral sensor, the processing component, and the transceiver, all within the constraints of the UAV platform.
