Abstract:
A compact and lightweight visible-to-extended SWIR spectrograph package for class-1 Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) is currently in fabrication and will be flight tested in Autumn of 2019. It features a single, monolithic spectrograph, machined from CaF2, that covers the full spectral range from 0.4-2.45 microns, coupled with an extended-range, HgCdTe camera. The spectrograph comes with a complete flight package including a shutter, navigation system, computer, and on-board processing. In this paper we outline the design, fabrication, and initial flight-testing of the sensor and flight package.
