1 PRELIMINARY ACTIVITIES PLANNING EC-DIGISOIL PROJECT KOM Paris, Sept th, 2008

2 Galileo Avionica - Space & Electro-Optics B.U. INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY STARTING FAR AWAY Since 1864 G. Battista Amici, astronomer in Florence, establishes the first laboratory of optical manufacturing in Italy, TODAY Electro-Optical technology installed on board of satellites, airplanes, ship, surface vehicles, for observation and target identification (objects, physical elements) in all wheather and day/night conditions. GALILEO Avionica, a Finmeccanica Company, is operating in the avionic and space sectors since the early sixties, developing products for research and application Programmes.

3 Galileo Avionica Galileo Avionica is a key European player in Avionics for Defence & Space Applications AVIONIC SYSTEMS & EQUIPMENT RADAR SYSTEMS SPACE & ELECTRO-OPTICS SIMULATORS & UAVs UAVs Flight Training Simulators Airborne Radars Avionics IRST MILANO - GB Grassi Avionics Mission & Surveillance Systems Safety Critical Systems CASELLE (TO) Headquarters RONCHI DEI LEGIONARI (GO) Radar Systems Surface, Airborne & Space E/O Equipment Naval IRST Sonics Optical Coatings CAMPI BISENZIO (FI) Data Handling Avionics Precision Approach Radar CARSOLI (AQ) NERVIANO (MI) Space Technology MILANO - Montefeltro Microwave Components Solid State Subsystems Airborne E/O Systems Cockpit Information Syst. POMEZIA (RM) PALERMO

4 Hyper-spectral products for Space and Security AVIONIC Airborne VIRS Airborne SIM.GA VIMS \ Cassini VIRTIS \ Rosetta, VEX, Dawn GOME \ Metop SPACE

5 SIM.GA Avionic Hyperspectral Imager MODULARITY SIM.GA is a Suite of sensors to be configured depending on application and platform: VNIR hyper-spectral sensor ( micron) SWIR hyper-spectral sensor ( micron) Panchromatic camera MIR multi-spectral sensor TIR multi-spectral sensor FLEXIBILITY SIM.GA can be accommodated on board of different platforms: Airplanes (manned or unmanned) Ground based tripod. (GPS/INS integrated on the optical head avoids the need of stabilised platform). APPLICABILITY SIM.GA is intended to serve several applications: Environment (geology, water quality, pollution, fires ) Homeland Security Military (automatic reconnaissance, targeting)

6 Status of Development Two prototypes available, including: VNIR hyper-spectral channel SWIR hyper-spectral channel Panchromatic camera GPS/INS Onboard electronics Electronics rack including power distribution, computer, memory mass Optical head mounted on platform for stand-off use

7 SIM-GA Main Characteristics VNIR Spectrometer SWIR Spectrometer Spectral Range nm nm Spectral Sampling 1.2nm 5.8nm Spectral bands Spatial pixels IFOV per pixel 0.7mrad 1.33mrad FOV ±20.71 ± m 1.33m 722m 425m F# Digital resolution 12 bit 14 bit Sensor Frame transfer CCD CMT Max Operating Frame Rate (programmable) 57Hz 100 Hz Max Data Rate 57MB/s 5MB/s Operating Data Rate 44MB/s

8 SIM.GA HYPER First Flight SIM.GA 1st flight 15 Dec The system was embarked on a CASA 212 plane and flown over Tuscany coastal area. Contemporary on-ground reference measurements were carried out for data validation and calibration. SIM.GA 2nd flight July-August 2006 The system was embarked on a Light Aircraft Allegro 2000 and flown on Lazio and Tuscany summer wildfires. The campaign was carried out under the ESA- AIRFIRE program). SIM.GA April-September 2007 The system was embarked on a CASA plane and flown over Spain and Boredeaux (F) areas. The campaign was carried out under the ESA- CEFLES2 program). Hot spots and hot burned areas are discriminated along the fire front Calcite Chlorite Illite-Smectite Illite Smectite Recent Eternit Altered Eternit HYPER K K line allows flame detection also in smoke covered pixels (white arrow) AHS

9 Implications in DIGISOIL GA capabilities: Hardware, HW & data calibration, dataprocessing, flight campaigns management, ground truth & cal/val. The avionic hyperspectral SIM.GA auxiliary tool for environmental monitoring; EUropean HYperspectral signature DataBase: a contribution based on SIM.GA processed data Soil, Ash Pavings, Asphalts, Football grass Colors/type Eternit, Acid waste Organic, Clay, Burned

10 Implications in DIGISOIL: preliminary planning
