Robotic Sensing and Brownout Landing LADAR
OptiMetrics has designed, fabricated and tested multi-sensor LADAR breadboards for application to navigation applications. These sensors fused 3D LADAR data with passive sensor data to provide improved situational awareness for operators of robots navigating complex terrain and for pilots landing helicopters in low visibility (brownout) environments.
LADAR Breadboard Development Services Include:
- System Design and Component Selection
- Breadboard System Integration
- Fusion Algorithm Development
- Laboratory and Field Testing
- Technology Transition
