Characterization of a scannerless LADAR system

Garcia, P.; Anthes, J.; Pierce, J.T.; Dressendorfer, P.; Evans, I.K.; Bradley, B.D.; Sackos, J.T.; Lecavalier, M.M.

Performance projections based on the analytical model of a scannerless laser radar system are compared to laboratory simulations and to field data measurements. Data and characteristics of the system, including camera response, image spatial resolution, and contributions to the signal-to-noise ratio are presented. A discussion of range resolution for this system will also be presented, and finally, the performance characteristics of the prototype benchtop system will be summarized.
