Abstract

Optical Air Data Systems, L.P. (OADS, L.P.) proposes a design for a weaponmounted, low-cost, compact, reliable, lightweight wind sensor system toremotely and accurately measure the weapon air data parameters such asairspeed as well as wind profile between the weapon and the target. Theproposed system would provide a substantial improvement over competingoptical systems as well as traditional Pitot-static systems in terms ofsize, reliability and functionality. The sensor involves a fullyfiber-optic LIDAR (laser radar) design, which allows the system to belightweight, compact and rugged. The technology developed in this project will have applications well beyondthe scope of this specific project, and will apply to both the military andcommercial markets. Specific techniques developed in this effort willfurther advance the state-of-the-art in both the atmospheric sensing andfiber-optic disciplines, and greatly enhance the current knowledge ofoptical and remote sensing.
