Galileo Avionica Galileo Avionica proposalproposal forfor FP7FP7Galileo Avionica is a FINMECCANICA Company, leader in design and development of Hyperspectral Instruments for Science and EarthObservation (EO).

The heritage coming from space programmes has been successfullyapplied to avionic applications; the result is the avionic HYPER SIM.GA camera, built and fully tested in several prototypes, which has alreadyflown and is available for operations. Galileo Avionica has capabilities tooffer not only skills on hardware but also on data calibration, data processing, and management of flight campaigns and field spectrometry.

Provided that hyperspectral imaging is an important auxiliary toolfor EO and that many Scientific Institutions in Europe have alreadyshown a strong interest in hyperspectral approach forenvironmental monitoring,
