 US MASINT in this area is coordinated by the Hyperspectral MASINT Support to Military Operations (HYMSMO) project.This MASINT technology differs from IMINT in that it attempts to understand the physical characteristics of what is seen, not just what it looks like.Hyperspectral imaging typically needs multiple imaging modalitiesd, such as whiskbroom, pushbroom, tomographic, intelligent filters, and time series.
