COURSE OVERVIEW

Major technology advancements in Laser RADAR and Applications Training have made a profound new impact on future mobile, airborne, and space-based missions. In an effort to cope with problems such as target clutter, battlefield commanders require a new breed of LADAR, consisting of new programs such as Jigsaw and True 3D Flash. New LADAR systems and applications are currently in development and will be based on entirely new technology, which has not been feasible until just now. These new LADAR technologies will support the Service-wide drive for a Single Integrated Air Picture (SIAP), which provides military forces access to reliable information about the ground, air, space, or undersea threats in any given theater of operations to achieve total theater air dominance. Developmental challenges are vast for LADAR and opportunities for industry involvement appear to be endless.
