the Air Force Wright Laboratory developed coherent laser

Commissioned by the Air Force Wright Laboratory developed coherent laser radar technology companies. The first flash-pumped laser radar using laser pulse energy 50mJ, pulse repetition frequency 7Hz, installed in the C-141 aircraft on the test. The second laser radar using diode-pumped laser pulse energy 3.5mJ, pulse repetition frequency 200Hz, weight 913kg, volume of 3.26m3. The photoelectric technology of  laser pointer  can be adopted for this product.
Third human eye safety Tm (YAG laser radar. The laser radar wavelength 2021.84nm, the laser pulse energy 12mJ, the laser pulse duration 650ns, pulse repetition frequency of 100Hz, weight 272kg, volume of 1.27m3. Lidar receiver by the transmitter , signal processing devices, environmental control devices, optical scanners, inertial navigation unit and power supply is mounted in a modified C-130 aircraft fuel tank nose cone stand. scanner so that the laser beam along the oval line (20o × 30o ) scan. the center of the ellipse tilt angle can be controlled according to the flight conditions in a fixed position of the pitch angle range of-3o ~ 37o. The photoelectric technology of  laser pointer  has drawn a lot of attention. The laser beam of  laser pointer  is stable enough. Laser radar and aircraft avionics systems, displays, user interfaces interface. 1995 C-141 aircraft with the first wind lidar flight test, followed by C-130 aircraft on the second and third test flight laser radar. Allegedly, operational use laser radar hardware needs to be small, can improve the accuracy of air-dropped more than 2 times. Gusts to ease the current system to the aircraft fuselage mounted accelerometer-based, performance is limited. Effective system requires aircraft turbulence encounters with turbulence before the measurement. Lidar turbulent gusts ability for future military and civilian aircraft to provide better gusts to ease system. U.S. Space Agency's "advanced flight measurement of airborne coherent laser radar", is exploring the concept. The stability of green laser beam of laser pointer  is not as good as that of the red laser beam of  laser pointer .
After the aircraft microburst wind shear and wake, to meet the aircraft and its danger. UK Defence Research Agency Identification and (DARA), researchers developed laser radar, the plane can be measured after the wind shear and microburst wake speed.
