Abstract

Hughes Aircraft Co. has been involved with laser range finders and laser radars for over 20 years. This paper tries to summarize some of the typical laser radar sensors and applications in the last few years. The first half of the paper is to give a brief analytical description of the current issues in designing a modem ladar. The second half gives a review of laser sensors that have been developed by Hughes and by other companies highlighting some of the key features of those sensors.
