The Headwall Co-Aligned VNIR-SWIR and LiDAR UAV mounted sensor is a class - leading hyperspectral pushbroom imager, capable of superb spectral and spatial resolution. This system is the first of its kind in Europe, and the first to be made openly available to researchers.

This system provides high spatial resolution (c. 5cm GSD), 3D projected, full-range hyperspectral imagery to support a wide range of applications, including mapping and monitoring of: vegetation, plant species, biodiversity, biomass, stress indicators, disease, agriculture, geology and many more. The attached 16 channel LiDAR allows orthorectification of flight lines over complex terrain and fusion with the hyperspectral datacube for three dimensional representation of spectral data and integration of LiDAR-based biomass estimates with different spectral products.
