This project aims to provide breakthrough advances in space-based imaging by harnessing the advances in nano-fabrication of optical materials. The project expects to develop novel imaging principles based on specially tailored ultra-thin optical films containing millions of nanoscale elements to facilitate real-time measurement and efficient onboard processing of both the spectral characteristics and light polarization. These outcomes can provide the technological foundation for the next-generation imaging from space with capabilities in the identification of otherwise invisible structures, both on the Earth surface and underwater, and thereby provide game-changing benefits for applications in Australian intelligence.

该项目旨在通过利用光学材料纳米制造方面的进展，在天基成像方面取得突破性进展。该项目预计将开发基于专门定制的超薄光学薄膜的新型成像原理，其中包含数百万个纳米级元素，以促进光谱特性和光偏振的实时测量和有效机载处理。这些成果可以为下一代空间成像提供技术基础，具有识别地球表面和水下其他不可见结构的能力，从而为澳大利亚情报应用提供改变游戏规则的好处。
