Services
The Specim AFX17 is an NIR hyperspectral imaging solution featuring a hyperspectral camera, small and powerful computer, and high-end GNSS/IMU unit in one compact enclosure. It is a state-of-the-art solution weighing only 2.4kg that can be used on multiple drone types - multirotor or fixed-wing, with or without a gimbal. Data is acquired automatically following the waypoints on a flight plan, making the Specim AFX17 easy to operate.
