Facebook X LinkedIn Email
GREENLAWN, N.Y., May 21, 2007 -- BAE Systems has been named sensor subcontractor for Raytheon Technical Services Co.’s shared reconnaissance pod (SHARP) target cueing system demonstration. Under a $2.3 million contract with Raytheon, BAE Systems will use its spectral infrared imaging technology testbed (SPIRITT) high-altitude hyperspectral technology to automatically detect, classify and identify camouflaged and concealed targets based on their spectral signature. Hyperspectral imaging extracts unique spectral data from hundreds of visible to infrared wavelengths to detect objects based on their material composition....Read full article
