Tender for ready-to-fly UAV System with Integrated VNIR and SWIR Hyperspectral and Lidar Sensors

Tender description

The GEMEO (Global Environmental Modelling & Earth Observation) group is located at Swansea University’s Department of Geography in the Faculty of Science and Engineering. Its research is focused on understanding how natural and man-made changes affect the biosphere using remote sensing data and environmental models. This current project will involve the detection and classification of coastal litter. We require a ready-to-fly Unmanned-Aircraft Vehicle (UAV) system with fully-integrated co-aligned hyperspectral Visible and Near-Infrared (VNIR) and Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR) (400 – 2500nm) and lidar sensors, along with in-flight data capture and storage system.

To enable data to be captured to high geolocation accuracy, we require the system to be fitted with high performance GNSS/GPS and IMU.
