The airborne chemical imaging system (ACIS) is a research platform used to evaluate passive infrared (IR) standoff detectors for airborne remote sensing of chemical vapors. It consists of a sensor suite mounted in an automated gyro-stabilized optical platform. The sensor pod is currently mounted on a UH-1 helicopter but could also be adapted to other platforms. Two developmental IR imaging sensors are used in the ACIS: a high-speed Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer: the TurboFT, and a high-resolution tunable IR Fabry-Perot spectroradiometer: the AIRIS. The TurboFT is a high-speed (100 Hz) low-resolution (2x8 pixel) system and the AIRIS is a low-speed (approximately 0.5 Hz), high- resolution (64x64 pixel) imager. This paper describes the ACIS configuration, general system specifications, operational concerns, and some typical results from recent flight tests.
