The new technology is based on the spectral characteristics unique to every physical object or material helping it to differentiate between artificial and natural objects, between fake and real, to tell a camouflage net from real grass. The new system, consisting of onboard and ground-based elements, automatically spots military targets and identifies them using their spectral characteristics, Skokov said. Besides its main purpose of identifying enemy targets, the “All-Seeing Eye” can also be useful in ensuring large-scale forest condition monitoring and hyperspectral analysis of soils and plants.
