Design of a Foliage Penetrating LADAR Simulation Tool

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA504660 | Open PDF

Abstract:

A simulation tool was developed using MATLAB and its Graphical User Interface Development Environment GUIDE to simulate aspects of an airborne foliage-penetrating Laser Detection and Ranging LADAR system in scenarios designed to contribute towards the military operational use of such a system. In particular, the simulation tool is intended for conducting analysis on how best to task the aircraft and position the sensor. This document provides an overview of the graphical user interface and software including the design challenges dealing with the input scenery data modelling the sensor and platform flight path and planned analysis of the simulation results.
