Official Description

Hyperspectral MWIR infrared imagers are required to characterize signatures of military targets, both cooperative and hostile. The specific need is the characterization of missile plume and hardbody signatures in static and free flight tests. This threat characterization supports the design and testing of missile warning and countermeasure systems. The hyperspectral imagery data would also be useful in temperature/emissivity determination of hypersonic thermal protection systems during ground te...
