Is that the same as a panchromatic camera?

Edit:

Asking because I have a 410x410px hyperspectral imager that has an aligned 1886x1886px panchromatic imager that is use to perform pan-sharpening of the HSI data bringing it up to 1886x1886. I'd never heard of a panchromatic camera before I got involved in this business and I've never heard of an achromatic camera either. All I seem to find is achromatic lenses.

Yes, "panchromatic" is probably the more accurate term for it. It's just a camera with no color filters and a known spectral response curve that's high enough across the frequencies being imaged.

Ah, yeah, I'd say that fits 'panchromatic camera' then. The panchromatic imager on my setup uses the exact same CCD and covers the exact same spectral range (350nm-1000nm), but it doesn't have the HSI lenses/filters. The company actually sells a smaller unit that is made from the same imager, but with the HS lens/filters.
