Description

The Authority wishes to conduct an experiment to assess the utility of Short Wave Infra Red
(SWIR) Multivariate Optical Elements (MOEs) for detection of materials by their spectral
reflectance characteristics. In the proposed experiment, a scene containing materials of
interest would be imaged by three systems:
1. A conventional "pushbroom" hyperspectral imager (HSI) with a scanning
mechanism to allow creation of a 2-d image;
2. A conventional multispectral imager (MSI) with band-pass filters appropriate to the
materials of interest;
3. An imager based on MOEs.
This document describes the requirement for a contractor to supply and operate the MOE
imaging system as part of an experiment to be undertaken by the Authorities staff at Dstl
Porton Down.
