<title>HI-CLASS on AEOS: a large-aperture laser radar for space surveillance/situational awareness investigations</title>

Abstract: The Air Force Research Laboratory/Directed Energy Directorate (AFRLIDE) via the ALVA (Applications of Lidars for Vehicles with Analysis) program installed in late 2000 a wideband, 12J 15Hz CO2 laser radar (ladar) on the 3.67 meter aperture AEOS (Advanced Electro-Optics System) telescope. This system is part of the Maui Space Surveillance System (MSSS), on the summit ofHaleakala, Maui, HI. This ladar adopts the technology successfully demonstrated by the first generation HI-CLASS (fflgh Performance ço2 kadar su… Show more

“…Stromlo facility and the Advanced Electro-Optical System at AMOS. AEOS has demonstrated large-aperture debris tracking with the 180W HI-CLASS ladar system (Kovacs et al, 2001). EOS is routinely performing laser tracking of LEO debris objects smaller than 10 cm in size from this facility (Greene, 2002).…”

“…Coherent Light Detection and Ranging (lidar) detection has been widely studied for anemometry [1, 2] and range‐finding applications [3], extending the use to space [4, 5], military [6, 7] and civil areas [8]. Based on the mature development in optical fibre communication areas, fibre laser with optical modulation and transmission at 1550 nm wavelength is a good choice for coherent lidar system construction [9], which is also suitable for long‐range detection in the atmosphere.…”
