PTZ Optical Spectrum Capture while tracking
.
A 25x optical zoom camera mated with a 300 line/mm, 17.5 degree blaze grating in a water-proof housing magnetically attached to a PTZ camera.
A smaller, 25mm square grating is now being tested for use on a wider variety of cameras.
At issue is the quality of the resulting spectrum data. Advanced image processing might be employed to resolve this.

solar-powered and interfaced to the MSDAU via WiFi.
RFDAU -- ultra-wide bandwidth RF Spectrum Analyzer
UPDATE -- Rather than requiring a different type of DAU, a HackRF One receiver, similar to that shown here is an option for an MSDAU. Via the UFODAP Mission Control software, the bandwidth of this SDR is selectable in any range within 1 to 6000 MHz (6 GHz).
This is now available as an option for any MSDAU. An alternative 25-1750 MHz SDR is also available.

The UFODAP Pan/Tilt Data Acquisition Unit (PTDAU) is a high-performance pan/tilt positioner that can carry up to 10Kg/20lbs and can move up to 100 degrees/sec in pan and 40 degrees/second in tilt. Any PTU defined as a Pan/Tilt Unit Configuration may be used as the Pan/Tilt Unit entry in a System configuration. The PTU is distinct from prior pan/tilt cameras in that it can potentially carry any
