Data Sheet
Hyperspec® RECON
Handheld Hyperspectral Sensor

The handheld Hyperspec® RECON VNIR (3801000 nm) imaging sensor offers discrete target
identification for reconnaissance applications at
distances of 1.5 kilometers
The ruggedized Hyperspec® RECON™ sensor is designed for handheld
deployment for essential forward reconnaissance applications. The Hyperspec® RECON sensor provides very rapid hyperspectral scene rendering of small targets at distances up to 1.5 kilometers.
For field deployment as an intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance sensor (ISR), the Hyperspec® RECON provides true point & stare
hyperspectral functionality with rendered hyperspectral scenes generated in 1 to 3 seconds. As a very flexible reconnaissance platform, specific target sets and signatures of interest are either downloaded to the
sensor or made available via standard SD-RAM storage chips.
Given the sensor’s small size and portability, the Hyperspec® RECON
sensor is also ideal for stationary deployment as an unattended ground
sensor for spectral surveillance or as an element of trailer-mounted
sensor configurations. The optical hyperspectral engine is based on
Headwall Photonics existing Hyperspec imaging sensor platform, suitably adapted for high-speed operation required for true handheld operation in harsh environments. The optical design of the Hyperspec®
RECON instrument rapidly and accurately scans the field of view utilizing either the customized wide or narrow field of view optics. The
Hyperspec® RECON is optimized for optical throughput providing true
real-time operation.
