What supports this profile

ITRES SAVI-1000 updated 2026 technical specification (opens in a new tab)
ITRES Research Limited · official company product
ITRES specifies SAVI-1000 continuous 0.4–2.5 micrometre coverage on a single cryo-cooled detector, 256 spectral channels, 1,000 across-track pixels, 40-degree field of view and up to 100 full frames per second. Its 2026 datasheet lists a 49.2 kg sensor head, 26–32 VDC at 10 A, suggested ambient operation from -20 to +50 C and maximum 4,500 m unpressurized altitude. These are manufacturer specifications, not mission qualification. Processing supports Linux and Windows and ENVI-compatible products, GNSS-inertial georeferencing, LiDAR/IfSAR/DEM inputs and sub-millisecond synchronization.

ITRES Research Limited · official company product
ITRES offers mission planning, aircraft and sensor mobilization, airborne and coincident ground-data acquisition, preprocessing and analysis. Quotes depend on geography, timing, sensor/spectral requirements, spatial resolution and whether reflectance or analysis products are needed. It states that it avoids projects directly competing with sensor customers and may refer such requests to sensor partners.
Taiwan government opens ITRES SAVI-1000 test imagery applications (opens in a new tab)
Taiwan Aerial Survey and Remote Sensing Branch · government service page
Taiwan's Aerial Survey and Remote Sensing Branch states on January 30, 2026 that it acquired airborne hyperspectral imagery using ITRES SAVI-1000 and invited government and academic units to test the data through December 31, 2026. This is independent evidence of government use for imagery acquisition and evaluation; it does not certify every datasheet figure or a defence deployment.
