Co-Aligned HP™
Headwall Photonics – Spectral Imaging
Compact VNIR-SWIR Hyperspectral Imaging System Tailored For Remote Sensing
Headwall’s first Hyperspec Co-Aligned VNIR-SWIR sensor quickly became the top-selling system in its category. The next-generation Co-Aligned HP™ VNIR-SWIR offers improved VNIR spatial resolution and more spectral bands, all in a small, lightweight, and power-efficient design.
You can buy the Co-Aligned HP as a payload for compatible UAVs or as part of complete systems with the drone, like the DJI Matrice 600 Pro or the USA-made Freefly Alta X, which complies with NDAA regulations.
