Underwater Laser Imager Uses Separate Platform Approach

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
PATUXENT RIVER, Md., May 14, 2013 — In underwater laser imaging systems, the transmitter and receiver usually are on the same platform, but a new method that places the devices on separate platforms could enhance their performance in murky water. “It’s a new way of thinking about things,” said Dr. Linda Mullen, a Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) engineer who developed the method with Alan Laux. “In acoustics and radar, they’ve been doing these kinds of approaches for a long time. This is very new for optics.” The method — which could enhance fleet...Read full article
