Abstract

ISC plans to utilize its packaging expertise to design a miniature LADAR receiver for 1Km active imaging applications. The receiver will contain designed readout electronics ina stacked silicon module configuration. The custome ICs will contain signalprocessing electronics to determine the time of arrival of laser pulse echoes. The system will also employ a stack of off-the-shelf digital electronics that will make up the image processing section of the receiver. The receiver electronics will be madeup of three boards each 2.5 x 2.5 inches. The digital processor stack is based on the Intel StrongArm processor and will be able to run Windows NT or Linux operating system.The reduction in receiver electronics can greatly improve the marketability ofcommercial 3D imaging systems. The areas of most significant growth would be in the industrial applications of civil and mechanical engineering. A similar reduction in the volume of the transmitter electronics would complete the transformation. ISC willteam with an established industrial LADAR company for commercialization.
