Nano HP

Compact VNIR Hyperspectral — 400 to 1,000 nm

Headwall's original Nano-Hyperspec® took the remote-sensing community by storm, becoming the best-selling system of its kind. The next-generation Nano™ HP adds improved spatial resolution and more spectral bands in an exceptionally small, light, and power-efficient form factor — available as a payload or turnkey system, with optional LiDAR and thermal imagers.

Why It Performs

The Best-Selling System of Its Kind

High spectral resolution in a featherweight package, factory-integrated and flight-tested — with optional LiDAR and thermal.

VNIR 400–1000 nm

340 spectral bands across the visible and near-infrared on an aberration-corrected spectrograph — rich data for vegetation and materials.

Best-in-Class SWaP

Just 1.05 kg and 14.4 W — an exceptionally small, light, and power-efficient sensor for compact-class Carriers.

Built-In GPS-IMU + Storage

An internally-mounted high-performance GPS-IMU with PPK and 480 GB of solid-state storage — factory-integrated and flight-tested.

Optional LiDAR & Thermal

Add LiDAR for high-resolution DEM and 3D point clouds, or thermal imagers, to build a payload suited to your needs.
