A Low-Cost Airborne EO Oceanographic Measurement System

Abstract

The long-term goal of this project is the development of an electro-optical imaging system that can be mounted and flown in an aerial photography airplane to produce time-series imagery of the ocean surface suitable for scientific research. The system will be designed for low-cost production through the use of commercial-off-the (COTS) components and low-cost operation through the use of commercial single-engine airplanes.
