空军系统司令部在埃格林空军基地内的空军武器实验室展示了高分辨距离成象激光雷达的实时显示装置。该试验是在埃格林空军基地C—52靶场上300英尺塔台上进行的。该激光雷达系统向目标射出一束激光,开启定时器。激光击中目标并返回传感器,定时器即停。计算机记下飞行时间及每个回波脉冲的位置。计算机将信息变换成3维假彩色距离成象,目标就在其中。该成象用颜色的深浅和色彩的变化表示距离。线性阵列激光器和检测器技术减少了照射所有 Air Force Systems Command demonstrated at the Air Force’s Arms Laboratory at Eglin AFB a real-time display of a high resolution range imaging lidar. The test was conducted on a 300-foot tower at the C-52 Range at Eglin AFB. The Lidar system emits a laser beam to the target, turning on the timer. The laser hits the target and returns to the sensor, the timer stops. The computer records the time of flight and the location of each echo pulse. The computer transforms the information into a 3-dimensional false color distance imagery in which the target is located. The image represents the distance with the color depth and color change. Linear array laser and detector technologies reduce exposure to all
