The hyperspectral multisensor platform has
two modes of operation. In offline mode,
all data is recorded during flight and made
available for preprocessing and evaluation
afterwards. In online mode these steps are
instead performed on the ground in near
real-time, if the data is transferred to a
mobile ground control station (such as one
by OHB System AG) using a broadband
data connection. This minimizes the delay
between data acquisition and processing,
which is invaluable in disaster management
or conflict zones. All sensors are in a fixed
configuration installed in a pod. Especially
useful in time-critical situations, the system
can be attached to an airplane in minutes
and thus allows data acquisition in very
little time.
Powerful processing modules enable efficient
interaction between the multisensor
platform, the carrier platform Stemme S10
and the mobile ground control station.Additionally, these can be remotely controlled
using a web interface. Depending on
the location, this allows an operation to run
without an analyst to be present, reducing
cost and potential danger to the analyst
