Airborne Sensors
IfSAR
Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (IfSAR or InSAR) is an
aircraft-mounted sensor designed to measure surface elevation,
which is used to produce topographic imagery. Radar pulses
are aimed at targets on the Earth, and . . . more
LIDAR
LIDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) is an active sensor, similar to
radar, that transmits laser pulses to a target and records the
time it takes for the pulse to return to the sensor receiver.

Airborne Multispectral Systems
Airborne multispectral (MS) camera systems are currently being deployed
by many private sector vendors. These sensors are complex systems
incorporating multiple cameras, different storage...more
Thermal Infared Radiometer
Airborne thermal infrared radiometers (TIR) are used to map and measure thermal
characteristics of landscapes and seascapes. These instruments are often components
of complex remote sensing systems that...more
Hyperspectral Systems
Hyperspectral sensors are passive sensors that acquire simultaneous
images in many relatively narrow, contiguous and/or non-contiguous
spectral bands through the ultraviolet, visible and infrared...more
