Airborne Real-time Cueing Hyperspectral Enhanced Reconnaissance
The Airborne Real-time Cueing Hyperspectral Enhanced Reconnaissance, also known by the acronym ARCHER, is an aerial imaging system that produces ground images far more detailed than plain sight or ordinary
aerial photography can. It is the most sophisticated unclassified hyperspectral imaging system available, according to U.S. Government officials. ARCHER can automatically scan detailed imaging for a given signature of the object being sought (such as a missing aircraft), for abnormalities in the surrounding area, or for changes from previous recorded spectral signatures. It is has direct applications for
search and rescue,
counterdrug,
disaster relief and impact assessment, and
homeland security, and has been deployed by the
Civil Air Patrol (CAP) in the
United States on the
Australian built
Gippsland GA8 Airvan
fixed-wing aircraft. CAP, the
civilian auxiliary of the
United States Air Force, is a volunteer education and
public service non-profit organization that conducts aircraft search and rescue in the U.S.
