In the proposed experiment, a scene containing materials of interest would be imaged by three systems: - A conventional "pushbroom" hyperspectral imager (HSI) with a scanning mechanism to allow creation of a 2-d image; - A conventional multispectral imager (MSI) with band-pass filters appropriate to the materials of interest; - An imager based on MOEs. This document describes the requirement for a contractor to supply and operate the MOE imaging system as part of an experiment to be undertaken by the Authorities staff at Dstl Porton Down. ## CPV classification Research and development services and related consultancy services Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/266eb20d-f5be-4be7-bf58-2fdef124a464) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
