US Army Engages Raytheon to Develop Multispectral Tech

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
MCKINNEY, Texas, Nov. 17, 2011 — In support of Blackhawk helicopter operations, the Army has awarded Raytheon Co. of Waltham, Mass., a $14.6 million contract to further develop the company’s Advanced Distributed Aperture System (ADAS). ADAS is a multispectral technology that gives helicopter pilots 360° situational awareness, improving aircraft and crew survivability when operating in low-visibility conditions. In April, Raytheon successfully completed the integration of ADAS capabilities required by the Department of Defense’s Joint Capability Technology Demonstrations program. During flight testing,...Read full article

    multispectral imaging
    Multispectral imaging is a technique that involves capturing and analyzing images at multiple discrete spectral bands within the electromagnetic spectrum. Unlike hyperspectral imaging, which acquires data across a continuous range of wavelengths, multispectral imaging is characterized by capturing information at several specific, predefined bands. This allows for the extraction of spectral signatures and information from different parts of the spectrum. Key aspects of multispectral imaging...
