Real-time spectral intelligence for anomaly detection, UAV integration, and operational decision-making.
Why SPIE Defense & Security Matters
SPIE Defense + Security is one of the most relevant events for photonics and sensing technologies in defense and security applications, with a strong focus on the North American market.
It brings together system integrators, engineers, and decision-makers working on advanced sensing, surveillance, and reconnaissance technologies.
For hyperspectral imaging, SPIE is a key platform to discuss real-world applications, system integration, and the transition from research to operational deployment.
What You Can Experience at Our Booth 1129
Visit our booth to experience hyperspectral imaging systems in live operation.
We demonstrate how snapshot technology enables:
- Real-time anomaly detection
- Identification of camouflaged objects and materials
- Reliable data capture in motion and dynamic environments
- Immediate analysis without post-processing
You can interact directly with the system and explore how it performs under realistic conditions.
Snapshot Hyperspectral Imaging for Real-Time Applications
Conventional hyperspectral systems rely on scanning mechanisms, which require movement and can introduce artifacts in dynamic scenes.
Cubert’s snapshot technology captures the full spectral information of every pixel in a single exposure.
This enables:
Artifact-free imaging in motion
Stable data quality during UAV flights or vibrations
Real-time hyperspectral video and analysis
Immediate availability of actionable data
- Artifact-free imaging in motion
- Stable data quality during UAV flights or vibrations
- Real-time hyperspectral video and analysis
- Immediate availability of actionable data
The result is a complete spectral data set without the limitations of scanning systems.

Applications in Defense and Remote Sensing
Hyperspectral imaging provides access to material information that is not visible to conventional sensors.
Typical applications include:
Camouflage detection
Identify objects and structures that are visually concealed but spectrally distinguishable.
Anomaly detection
Detect disturbances in soil, vegetation, or infrastructure based on spectral deviations.
UAV-based reconnaissance
Capture and analyze spectral data from aerial platforms in real time.
Environmental and situational analysis
Assess contamination, material composition, and environmental changes.
Hyperspectral UAV Systems and Integration
Cubert systems are designed for integration into operational platforms.
Current and upcoming integrations include:
- DJI Matrice platforms (M300, M350, M400)
- Integration-ready solutions for platforms such as Freefly Astro Max
- Stabilized gimbal systems with onboard processing
- Seamless data workflows for mapping and analysis
The systems combine hyperspectral sensors, processing units, and software to deliver usable results directly in the field.




Explore Cubert Systems Across Multiple Booths
In addition to our own booth, Cubert hyperspectral cameras are also presented by our partners across the exhibition.
This gives you the opportunity to experience our technology in different system configurations and application contexts.
- Axiom Optics (Booth 1107) ➤ ULTRIS X20
Demonstrating hyperspectral systems in distributor-integrated configurations, with a focus on system setup, accessibility, and application-driven use. - Bodkin Design & Engineering 723) ➤ ULTRIS S5
Showcasing integration into defense-related systems, highlighting system-level deployment and real-world application scenarios.
Why This Matters
Hyperspectral imaging is typically part of a larger system.
By visiting both Cubert and partner booths, you can better understand how the technology integrates into UAV platforms, sensing systems, and operational workflows.
