The NightHawk II Wide Area Surveillance system integrates seemlessly with all HawkEye II components including Image Processor, Data Links, Image Presentation and Storage Server, and iView.
In its base form, NightHawk II provides coverage of 2 X 2 km with ground resolution of 1/2 meter thouhgout the image.
Images are processed in real-time with image stiching, geo and ortho rectification, and preparation for data communications transport to analysts on the ground.
Capability for 100% duty cycle across entire illumination spectrum
High sensitivity in 0.9 to 1.7um spectrum; NIR/SWIR, from 0.7 to 1.7um
Partial moonlight to day time imaging
All solid-state InGaAs imager
On-board, real-time non-uniformity corrections
Automatic Gain Control (AGC)
Operation from -40 to +70 degrees C
Tested to MIL-STD-810G fro functional shock, vibration, thermal shock, storage temperature, altitude, humidity
You'd be surprised. Like HawkEye II, the base unit is competitively priced with camera balls.
What's better, is the base unit can be upgraded over time with out having to replace the entire unit. That's great engineering!
NightHawk II can be configured as a multi-spectral imager. Users can opt for a system configured with EO, SWIR, and NIR capabilities.
The NightHawk / HawkEye family of sensors bring a 24 hour monitoring capabilty to Wide Area Surveillance.
Analysts can easily switch from one sensor to another using the same tools and techniques.
