Coastal Area Tactical-mapping System (CATS)
Abstract
The long-term goals of the CATS project are: (1) to improve detection and identification of anti-vehicle and anti-personnel obstacles and munitions in the coastal zone, and (2) to gain a fundamental understanding of the low-energy lidar phenomenology of the earth's surface, near-shore coastal environments, and vegetation foliage. The overarching objective of the CATS project is to design, build, and demonstrate a low-power scanning airborne laser altimeter capable of continuous ground coverage, superior three-dimensional (3D) sampling, and shallow-water penetration.
