Main focus of this paper is on the integrated, multi band, hyper spectral, electro optical sensor that has been studied for applications of forest fire risk management. It is based on the mini UAV platform named “1st”. The integrated sensor consists of a thermal imager and a hyperspectral sensor in VIS NIR band. It is completed by a compact onboard computer for operation control, and a transceiver for real time data download and command upload. Additional onboard equipment, such as GNC sub-system, is relevant to the UAV platform. Hardware characterization and laboratory tests are discussed and, finally, the results of a flight test session with both remote sensing and GNC sub-systems are presented.
