Description

Small uncrewed aircraft systems equipped with pyranometers, multispectral cameras, and radiometers to map spatial variability in surface albedo, vegetation indices, and soil moisture. Flights timed to capture key phenological transitions and surface property changes.

Typical Equipment

  • HELIX UAS
  • stabilized pyranometers
  • multispectral cameras
  • BST S2 sUAS
  • BST E2 sUAS
  • L-band radiometer

Output Measurements

  • surface albedo
  • NDVI
  • soil moisture
  • surface temperature
  • multispectral imagery
