Instructions
To make this component work follow these steps:
  1. Remove the delete-this-class class from the navbar14_component div. This will change the positioning of the navbar to fixed.
  2. Add the navbar-on-page class to the page-wrapper class. This will ensure that the navbar is centered on the page.
  3. Add the max-width-full class to the main-wrapper class. This will ensure all sections inside of the main wrapper are full-wdith.

Enhanced mission intelligence

Uncover hidden risks across land, sea, and borders with timely, accurate information that strengthens situational awareness.

Talk to sales
Access the data

Respond rapidly to potential threats

Detect subtle material and environmental shifts early so you can assess faster and respond before situations escalate.

Analyze mixed terrain with precision

Clearly understand every component in a mixed land area, even when images contain multiple materials.

Safely monitor high-risk environments

Observe large or inaccessible areas remotely with repeatable, defensible measurements that support ongoing situational awareness.

Identifying marine vessels

Wyvern identifies marine vessels with high accuracy, using each ship’s unique spectral signature. By comparing hyperspectral observations with declared identity, our imagery supports detection and monitoring of AIS spoofing, and 
non-cooperative or dark vessels.

Distinguish vessels beyond shape and size

Pinpoint materials and paint pigments

Measure corrosion levels

Identify vessel operators

Applications

Real-life solutions

Hyperspectral imagery reduces situational risk with detailed material-level insights.

Material identification

Accurately identify and analyze surface materials to uncover activity and intent.

Camouflage detection

Reveal concealed assets that evade traditional imaging by measuring material differences.

Remote surveillance

Monitor large or hard-to-access areas with consistent, reliable coverage.

Maritime domain awareness

Compare hyperspectral observations with AIS data to flag spoofing, misreporting, and non-cooperative or dark vessels.

Strategic facilities monitoring

Track material changes at important locations to optimize safety and longevity of assets.

Enhanced situational awareness

Integrate material-level insight into ISR workflows to reduce uncertainty and support decision-making.

The hyperspectral advantage

Hyperspectral imagery adds material-level discrimination to optical and radar data, clearly distinguishing look-alike objects and changes. This additional spectral dimension reduces ambiguity, supports correlation across data sources, and improves confidence in operational assessments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes hyperspectral imagery valuable for defence and security applications?

Hyperspectral imagery measures material-level spectral signatures rather than relying on visual interpretation alone. This enables analysts to distinguish materials, surfaces, and subtle changes that may not be apparent in optical imagery, supporting improved attribution, anomaly detection, and situational understanding.

How does hyperspectral imagery complement SAR and high-resolution optical data?

Hyperspectral imagery is designed to be used alongside SAR and optical sensors. SAR provides all-weather detection and structural context, optical imagery delivers high spatial detail, and hyperspectral data adds material and compositional insight. Together, these sensors provide a more complete picture than any single modality alone.

Does hyperspectral imagery replace SAR or optical imagery?

No. Hyperspectral imagery does not replace SAR or optical sensors. It complements them by adding a distinct layer of material intelligence that enhances analysis, reduces ambiguity, and improves confidence when multiple data sources are fused.

What software is required to work with hyperspectral imagery?

Wyvern imagery integrates with standard geospatial software. No proprietary viewer is required.

How do defence users access Wyvern imagery?

Wyvern imagery can be accessed through secure delivery mechanisms and APIs. Access models can be tailored to mission requirements, security posture, and user clearance levels.

What if I don’t have the tools or expertise to analyze hyperspectral data?

Wyvern can support analysis either directly or through a network of trusted analytics and systems integration partners, depending on mission requirements, security constraints, and operational context. This enables defence users to receive mission-relevant insights without needing to use geospatial tools to extract insights themselves.

Are spectral libraries available?

Yes. Spectral libraries for specific materials can be made available where appropriate, subject to mission requirements, access controls, and security considerations. Please contact us to discuss availability and suitability for your use case.

How is data ownership, cybersecurity, and sovereignty handled?

Wyvern maintains strict data ownership and access controls aligned with government security requirements. Imagery is not resold or redistributed without authorization, and data handling practices are designed to support national sovereignty, secure processing environments, and controlled dissemination.
