12 August 2009The Hyperspectral Airborne Tactical Instrument (HATI): a low-cost
compact airborne hyperspectral imager
Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems (NGAS) has developed the Hyperspectral Airborne Tactical Instrument (HATI), a compact
airborne hyperspectral imager designed to fly on a variety of platforms and to be integrated with other sensors in the NGAS
instrument suite. HATI has taken part in a variety of missions and flown in conjunction with other NGAS airborne sensors including
the recently-developed NGAS 3-D flash ladar system to demonstrate a multi-sensor data fusion approach. HATI is a push-broom
sensor which gathers information in the 400 nm to 1700 nm wavelength range. Its compact size allows HATI to be mounted on
commercial-of-the-shelf (COTS) aerial photography stabilization platforms and on a large variety of aerial platforms. In its most
recent flight season, the HATI sensor was used to gather data for applications including remote classification of vegetation, forests,
and man-made materials. The HATI instrument has undergone laboratory and in-situ performance validation and radiometric
calibration. This paper describes the HATI sensor and recent data collection campaigns.
