Foliage Penetrating Airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) for Reconnaissance Imaging (FALCON-I)

Abstract

FALCON-I will provide a unified foliage penetrating (FOPEN) sensing system that collects, processes, and fuses LIDAR and Ultra High Frequency (UHF) Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) to produce a comprehensive three dimensional (3D) view of human activity, terrain, and lines of communication obscured by foliage. The ultimate goal of the FALCON-I is to provide analysts and Warfighters a simple to understand 3D image of foliage obscured target areas of interest.
