Multiband Imaging Systems

Abstract

Intelligence from satellites or other airborne platforms can give units on the battlefield an insurmountable advantage over the enemy. When multiband data from these devices are placed into a geographic information system, these results can vividly convey tactical information to the commander by providing an image backdrop to other attribute data, such as soil type, vegetation cover and slope. Geographic information systems can display both terrain analysis data, such as high resolution photographs, and multispectral data, such as thermal, radar or IR imagery.
