A few of the 410 SHARK’s innovative features include:
- First complete, coherent HSI sensor system designed specifically for small UAS/UAV drones
- System includes: – visNIR microHSI™ 410 sensor – Lens – GPS/Inertial navigation system (INS) – Microprocessor control – Data acquisition and storage
- Dimensions: 136.4 x 87.4 x 70.4mm (with lens) / 95.8 x 87.4 x 70.4mm (without lens) • Weight: 730 grams
- Web interface for system management and control
- Flight planning and execution software enables preprogramming of image collection plan
- Automated waypoint operation, frame rate, binning, selectable image recording options
- Operating and maintenance documentation
- API interface (upon request)
- Designed for minimum 30 minute operating/recording time.
- Consistent with performance of most small UAS
- Hot-swap battery optional; larger battery available
- For more effective data management, the user can choose to collect the entire 155 band hyperspectral image cube, or only the spectral bands needed for a specific mission or application.
- Digital Elevation Maps (DEM) can be loaded into the system pre-flight for the area to be imaged to improve image georegistration during post-processing.
- Spectral Range: 400nm-1000nm
The 410 SHARK is the lowest cost integrated airborne hyperspectral imaging system on the market today.
Hyperspectral vs. Multispectral Imaging Technology
- Hyperspectral imagers cover many dozens to hundreds of spectral bands contiguously
-
Multispectral imagers cover a selected set of bands non-contiguously
- Spectral information critical for characterization, research and development of specific applications may be missing.
- Number of spectral bands is insufficient to address multitude of developed and proven applications and indices.
Why Hyperspectral Over Multispectral for Precision Agriculture?
- Agricultural market demand for hyperspectral sensor systems is growing to address a growing catalog of vegetation indices used for vegetation/crop analysis and diagnostics.
- There are currently over proven 65 vegetation indices, and growing
- New crop specific, application specific indices are being developed and introduced each year.
- Multispectral sensor systems can utilize only a small subset of indices, and cannot take advantage of new indices as they are introduced.
- Hyperspectral sensors enable the research and development of new vegetation indices – multispectral sensors do not.
Corning MicroHSI 410 Shark - Use Cases
Crop Growth and Health Assessment/Management
- Enables the evaluation of vegetation stress, often before it is visible to the human eye or with other sensors.
- Enables the visualization of change in crop growth and health, and yield prediction throughout the growing season.
- Data products: NDVI reNDVI, Senesis and dozens of other indices

While not always legally required, having insurance to fly a drone is highly recommended for several reasons:
Why You Should Consider Drone Insurance:
- Liability Coverage:
- Protects you if your drone causes injury or property damage to others.
- Damage Protection:
- Covers repairs or replacement costs if your drone is damaged in an accident.
- Theft Protection:
- Provides coverage if your drone is stolen.
- Compliance:
- Some commercial operations and clients may require proof of insurance before allowing you to fly.
- Peace of Mind:
- Offers reassurance that you are financially protected against unforeseen incidents.
Types of Drone Insurance:
- Liability Insurance:
- Covers legal fees and damages if your drone causes injury or property damage.
- Hull Insurance:
- Covers physical damage to your drone.
- Covers physical damage to you sensor (separately from the drone)
- Personal Injury Insurance:
- Covers injuries to yourself or your team while operating the drone.
- Commercial Drone Insurance:
- For businesses, covering multiple drones and operators, including comprehensive coverage options.
Where to Get Drone Insurance:
- Specialized drone insurance providers
- General insurance companies with drone policies
- Aviation insurance companies
Legal Requirements:
- Check local regulations as requirements can vary by country and region.
- In the U.S., the FAA does not mandate drone insurance, but it’s advisable for all operators, especially for commercial use.
In summary, while insurance might not be legally required, it is a smart and responsible choice to protect yourself and others while flying a drone.
Check with your insurance provider to see if they cover the drone rental and flights. If they do not, we highly recommend that you have insurance when you are flying drones. We have found that Skywatch.ai offers some of the best options for Drone Insurance.
