Research abstract

An innovative multimodal environmental sensor (both LWIR and LIDAR) is proposed. It is accomplished by leveraging COTs technology, advanced optical design and fabrication technology, and commercializing university research. By coupling the two technologies and developing the appropriate algorithms the environmental conditions in front of a UAV can be mapped and communicated and/or used by an autonomous navigation system to control the UAV. The nature of the technology is such that its SWAP will be compatible with some of the smallest UAVs. Overall, this technology will provide capabilities that do not exist in any type of sensor system produced today.
