Light Weight Coastal Topographic/ Bathymetric Charting System for Naval Unmanned Airborne Vehicles Navy SBIR FY2010.1 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2010.1 Topic No.: N101-089 Topic Title: Light Weight Coastal Topographic/ Bathymetric Charting System for Naval Unmanned Airborne Vehicles Proposal No.: N101-089-2168 Firm: Advanced Scientific Concepts, Inc. 135 E. Ortega Street Santa Barbara, California 93101 Contact: Howard Bailey Phone: (805) 966-3331 Abstract: This proposal is for the development of a 3D Flash LIDAR, compact, lightweight, low-power UAV bathymetric and topographic mapping system. The system is called the Compact Hydrographic And Topographic Flash LIDAR System (CHAT-FLS). The proposal is focused on the development of a unique ROIC and associated electronics as well as the relevant compact optics and laser. The design is based upon Advanced Scientific Concepts, Inc.'s (ASC's) compact underwater and terrestrial 3D Flash LIDAR imaging systems. Benefits: The benefits are both military and non-military. The components developed for this proposal will support UAV bathymetry, mine identification and topographical mapping. They will also support manned and unmanned under water vehicle navigation and surveillance, harbor inspection, ship hull inspection and oil infrastructure inspection. Versions of these components are applicable to ecosystem structure assessment from aircraft Return
