LADAR Innovative Development and Research (LIDAR)
Summary
The Department of the Air Force is seeking innovative research and development of electro‑optical sensor technologies, including synthetic aperture LADAR, vibration sensing, direct‑detection 3‑D LADAR, and asynchronous Geiger‑mode LiDAR receivers. The effort aims to produce advanced sensors that can operate in contested environments to support air superiority, ISR, and other warfighter missions.
