Co-Aligned VNIR + SWIR Hyperspectral — 400 to 2,500 nm
Headwall's original Hyperspec® Co-Aligned VNIR-SWIR became the best-selling system of its kind. The next-generation Co-Aligned HP™ features improved VNIR spatial resolution and a greater number of spectral bands in an exceptionally small, light, and power-efficient form factor — available as a payload or as a turnkey system, with optional integrated LiDAR.

Full VNIR-SWIR coverage, best-in-class SWaP, and factory integration — with optional LiDAR for 3D context.
A co-aligned, aberration-corrected spectrograph captures 400–1000 nm (VNIR) and 900–2500 nm (SWIR) in one tightly registered sensor.
An exceptionally small, light, and power-efficient form factor — perfect for mining, infrastructure, and environmental monitoring.
Built-in Applanix APX-15 GPS-IMU and 480 GB of solid-state storage per sensor — delivered ready to fly.
Add LiDAR for high-resolution Digital Elevation Models (DEM) and 3D point-cloud creation alongside the spectral data.
