Hyperspectral Analysis and Target Detection System for the Adaptive Spectral Reconnaissance Program (Asrp)

A multiprocessor version of the ORASIS hyperspectral analysis program has been implemented in support of the ASRP. In brief, the long-term technical objectives of the ASRP are to demonstrate the feasibility and military utility of real-time target detection from uncrewed air vehicles using hyperspectral data. This paper presents a preliminary assessment of ORASIS performance and describes the ORASIS development effort designed to meet the ASRP goals. Real-time performance of the analysis program and its potential effectiveness as a target detection method are demonstrated.
