These spectroradiometers are used to measure spectral characteristics of a variety of mineral, plant, water(includingunderwater), tree and other ground and water surfaces. Svc airborne sensors, giving co-registered pixels for vis/nir, swir and lwir(infraredand thermal) cover the entire light spectrum through a single aperture.

Hyperspectral, visual and thermal maps are used for a variety of environmental evaluation, mineral exploration, water and oceangraphic studies, agricultural yield, forest studies, land monitoring, and a number of other remote sensing applications.
