Description

To increase measurement accuracy for air to air missile scoring, ASC is proposing an innovative solution for accurately measuring the missile trajectory in real time. ASC’s global shutter 3D flash LiDAR is an ideal sensor for measuring the missile trajectory in terms of range, range rate of change, bearing, and relative position in real time with 3D point cloud output in streaming video. ASC will evaluate new technologies including non-mechanical beam steering, and fused 2D high resolution video with the 3D point cloud to generate high resolution 3D video to aid in the assessment of the missile scoring. ASC will work with the Air Force to develop a test plan to demonstrate the capabilities in phase II. A low cost solution is desired if the LiDAR is integrated into the target drone. Continental motors purchased the commercial automotive market and ASC retained rights to all other markets. ASC is the exclusive authorized reseller of Continental automotive LiDAR products for the military market. ASC plans to leverage this arrangement to provide a low cost solution. ASC will also work with Continental for the continued development of a fused 2D hi-res video with the 3D point cloud for hi-res 3D video.
