Lidar as a Diagnostic of Smoke/Obscurants: Overview and Assessment of the Development with Recommendations

Abstract

This report is divided into two main parts. The first is an overview and assessment of the development of lidar as a diagnostic of smoke/obscurants, beginning with an introduction to lidar and the potential payoff in its quantitative use, through a discussion of lidar principles, to consideration, in individual sections, of each of the problem areas lying along the various paths of smoke/obscurant diagnostic-lidar development.
