Hyperspectral imaging is here and basically, thermal is for peasants ))). You think thermal is good? It has to see the whole heat blob. Hyperspectral auto-ID's a single pixel of human skin, gun barrel steel, military paint or the mix of plastic in your favorite drone.What's your counter-sensor cope?
ok
implessive
>>64321443The American MOTS version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqrBZojaPsE
So what is this an imaging tech that provides indivudual "slices" of frequencies from UV to IR?
>>64321458No anon, you don't get to say implessive about American technology. I'll post the Chinese version in a sec. Wait warmly for it ok?
>>64321458Some anons ffs
>>64321462Yeah, it's an automated spectrometer function. You can have a library of everything you care about, from healthy crops (the original low-rez use) to CARC paint, RAM coatings, or human flesh.
It'll be twenty years before consumer grade hyperspectral is at G2 NV prices. Basically we're fucked.
>>64321458https://youtu.be/NIWMDE8tJAI?t=94Ok here's the Chinese hyperspectral, you may now mald at will.
>>64321443OP is a raging faggot who meme'd so hard in his shitty post he lost the plot entirely but for people wondering the basic tech here is straightforward and pretty ancient, it's used heavily in many areas of industry, food processing, medical, engineering, astronomy etc. The breakthroughs have been around making it more real-time, tougher and more practical. Like early thermal focused rt hyperspectral required liquid nitrogen cooling, then that got figured out. It's not magic and doesn't bypass issues of resolution, like a "single pixel of human skin" could be a pretty big area (inches) if the sensor is at enough distance and res isn't good enough.But it will be another step forward in the cat&mouse game and make camo harder since making something that mimics the environment across a much bigger range of spectrum (vs just visual bands) is much much harder.
>>64321509Thanks anon, I'm glad we have real faggots like you here to explain it for us
>>64321540Diff anon, but come on now if you're looking at some shit 30 miles away in 1080p with a 20x zoom a single pixel is four and an eighth feet of space.30/ 20x = 1.5 miles x 5280 / 1920 = 4.125 feet. It's impossible to make verifiable claims of man sized target with that kind of res. A fucking Abrams is like 3-4 pixels width.
>>64321786Right, part why the hypebeast shit style is irritating is because it is indeed legitimately cool tech. The big drivers for the last 15 years in terms of raw money R&D have probably been the oil and mineral industries, I guess it's gotten good enough that they can now do pretty solid initial mineral composition surface surveys purely from the air, and tell pretty precisely what's below just from pointing a hyperspectral sensor at the rocks. Which has been a sizable speed up in prospecting for valuable deposits.And yes it probably will have military significance, another step on top of nods/thermals/SAR etc. But it's not magic either and kind of a shame to have all discussion killed because anons take a look at OP and understandably dismiss it.
>>64321443Hyperspectral imaging was in aerial photography since 30s. Used film that has response to near IR and/or UV.
>>64321443>Hyperspectral auto-ID's a single pixel of human skinproblem solved
>>64321443>Hyperspectral auto-ID's a single pixel of human skin, gun barrel steel, military paintSo what you're saying is I could generate false positives with a strip of bacon, a piece of scrap metal or a can of spraypaint?
>>64321443tactical dousing rod, no amount of signature reduction can best random chance>>64321458there had best be an human on the loop
>>64321478Not with the way farmers DIY. Putting this on drones and having not just one AI but several co-ordinate sub systems means you can have a real time simulated 3d map of nutrients.AI runs my legal home grow tent. The difference is astounding, it tracks nitrogen through the feed up the root and where it's going just from a few pictures, and it's correct by testing tissue samples.I can do all this almost free, the verification costed about $100 in lab fees.I haven't had a single yellow leaf in 3 generations, not one symptom. My water run-off is tuned to the milimeter. My lights have their own output sensor and tuning.Complete high level automation costs $500 one time, then about $8 per plant ever after, although I'm working on $7 very soon.But you keep touting it's limits kid. My first TV had two fucking dials and around 32 channels.
May we see it?
>>64321786Did you not play war games in like 1998? I had some BS "TANK COMMAND" thing where I was ID'ing targets like that. 18-20 year olds can do it even better.
>>64322577Units in videogames are specifically designed so that you can easily identify them. In real life it's the opposite of that.
>>64322586So you didn't play tactical and combat games back then, just say that.
>>64322607man it shits up the clarity of the surroundings and obstacles
So what the fuck happens when militaries can no longer hide? Insist that the only viable response is to become even more lightweight and mobile?Seems to me that employing more "static" tactics/strategies would actually be a safer more and reliable bet given the advancements of robotics.
>>64322648Unnagroun
>>64322466>tactical dousing rod, no amount of signature reduction can best random chanceDoes that mean Iraq has tech supremacy?
>>64322634With all the new sensor and network tech, honestly a huge amount of the R&D and challenge will be not the tech itself (not that that's nothing) but the UI that links it to actionable information at the individual/squad/company/and up/ levels in a way that can be used on the fly under combat stress. That squishy human bit will continue to matter a great deal for the time being and it's hard, and if you fuck it up you can actually go backwards and overwhelm people with irrelevant shit.>>64322648>So what the fuck happens when militaries can no longer hideOf course they'll still be able to hide, it'll just change the cost and tradeoffs to some extent and require new efforts that nobody has needed to invest in until now. Like, there's no law of physics preventing you from covering your vehicles in a thin layer of local-mineral-matching rock and plant matter so that the spectral return is once again harder to match. It's just nobody has needed to bother before. There will be decoys and "hiding amidst the herd", when the battlefield is full of drone swarms that are all moving noise for this (you can see them fine but each individual one is cheap and low value) it'll remain harder to identify the higher value stuff. There will be more active sensor disabling efforts.And camo has never been about magical invisibility just slowing enemy response. If you kill them first you win.
