Patent attributes
A low Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) Agile Navigation and Guidance Enabled by LIDAR (ANGEL) sensor system that enables deployment on a wide variety of air and surface vehicle that have need of accurate situation awareness and have need of timely warning of potential objects that may cause collisions. A highly functional LIDAR sensor system provides accurate and timely detection and localization of potential threat objects. The ANGEL LIDAR sensor system operates in a fully eye-safe spectral band which enables it to be deployed and pose no threat to human vision impairment. The spectral band of operation also enables successful operation under day and night conditions and under conditions of degraded visual environment caused by such weather conditions as dust, fog, and rain.
