Shinki-236 May 2026

The Shinki-236 was developed to address size, weight, and power (SWaP) constraints in small UAVs. Previous sensors (e.g., Shinki-120, Shinki-180) lacked sufficient channel density for material classification. Section 2 describes the hardware architecture. Section 3 details the test methodology. Section 4 presents results. Section 5 concludes.

We compared the Shinki-236 against a Specim IQ and a Headwall Nano. Metrics: spectral accuracy (using a calibrated monochromator), frame rate (using an FPGA timestamp), and power draw (Keysight N6705B). The Shinki-236 was developed to address size, weight,
