HYDICE: an airborne system for hyperspectral imaging

HYDICE (the Hyperspectral Digital Imagery Collection Experiment) is a program to build and operate an advanced airborne imaging spectrometer. Scheduled to be operating in 1994, it will provide high quality hyperspectral data for use by a number of US civil agencies in determining its utility for a wide range of applications, as well as in support of basic research. The current status of the system under construction and plans for its operation are reviewed.
