Overview
RF Series Field Hyperspectral Imager

The RF Series is a compact, ruggedized push-broom hyperspectral imaging system designed for field deployment on UAVs, ground vehicles, and handheld platforms. Covering 400–1700 nm across VNIR and SWIR ranges, it delivers high-speed spectral acquisition with IP67 protection for demanding outdoor environments including agriculture, geology, environmental monitoring, and precision inspection.

Built for the field, not the lab. IP67-rated, vibration-resistant, and compatible with UAV, ground vehicle, and handheld platforms — the RF Series captures full spectral data in environments where laboratory systems cannot operate.
Capabilities
Key Features
Rugged
IP67 Field Protection

Dust-tight and waterproof construction for reliable operation in rain, dust, and harsh outdoor conditions.

Speed
Up to 400 fps

High frame rate acquisition enables fast-moving platform deployment on UAVs and ground vehicles without motion blur.
