Schwartz Electro-Optics, Inc. (SEO) is developing a second-generation LIDAR-based long range aerosol detection and assessment system called the Counter-Proliferation Long Range -Biological Standoff Detection System (CP LR-BSDS) for the U.S. Army Soldier and Biological Chemical Command (SBCCOM). CP LR-BSDS will be a palletized, self-contained system for use on the Army's UH-60A (Blackhawk) helicopter for long range detection and shape classification of long-line source aerosol clouds. This paper presents the key subsystem design considerations and operational characteristics of the CP LR-BSDS.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
