The Imaging Systems Branch conducts research and development into the use of Wide Area Motion Imagery (WAMI) for Defence and National Security.
Surveillance and space
DSTG research in surveillance and space relates to broad-area and battle-space surveillance and intelligence collection.
This consists of work involving integrating the operation of sensors and assets (including undersea and space based) and fusing the processing, exploitation and dissemination systems in direct support of current and future tactical, operational and strategic needs.
This area also encapsulates the systems (such as spacecraft, ground stations and data links) forming the space network.

Hyperspectral imaging divides optical and infrared images into hundreds of spectral bands.
One element of DSTG's recent research in this area has been concerned with improving OTHR detection and tracking performance against larger, slow moving targets such as ships on the ocean surface.
