Bechtel Nevada operates and flies Daedalus multispectral scanners for funded project tasks at the Department of Energy's Remote Sensing Laboratory. Historically, processing and analysis of multispectral data have afforded scientists the opportunity to see natural phenomena not visible to the naked eye. However, only recently has a system, more specifically a geometric correction system (GCS), existed to automatically georeference this data directly into a GIS database. Now analyses previously performed in a nongeospatial environment are integrated directly into an ARC/INFO GIS. This technology is of direct benefit to environmental, emergency response, and intelligence applications.
