Comprehensive, Wide Area Littoral and Land Surveillance (CWALLS)

摘要

The LIDAR apparatus disclosed in this application provides a capability, when deployed on airborne platforms, to increase area search rates to over 1000 square kilometers per hour which is an increase of over a factor of 100 better than the current state of the art. This apparatus operates in the SWIR and Blue-green spectral bands and provides a capability to detect and recognize small objects on the land and sea surface and below the sea surface.
