IGF::OT::IGF THIS PHASE I EFFORT WILL BE A PROOF-OF-CONCEPT DEMONSTRATION OF A NON-MECHANICAL (NO MOVING PARTS) 3D LIDAR SYSTEM THAT PROVIDES IN REAL TIME HIGH-RESOLUTION TERRAIN POINT CLOUD INFORMATION. THE OBJECTIVE IS TO BUILD A COMPACT SENSOR THAT MEETS THE LOW SIZE, WEIGHT AND POWER (SWAP) REQUIREMENTS OF SMALL AUTONOMOUS SPACE VEHICLES, ROBOTS AND ROVERS BEING DEVELOPED FOR FUTURE NASA PLANETARY AND ASTEROID/COMET EXPLORATION. THE LIDAR SENSOR WILL PROVIDE A VARIABLE ANGULAR RESOLUTION OF 0.04 DEGREES BY 0.04 DEGREES TO 0.005 DEGREES BY 0.005 DEGREES WITH<10CM RANGE PRECISION OVER AN 80 DEGREES BY 80 DEGREES FIELD OF REGARD AND 200 METER RANGE IN BRIGHT SUN LIGHT. THIS WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED USING A UNIQUE ELECTRO-OPTIC SCANNER THAT PROVIDES THE LARGEST ANGLE-APERTURE PRODUCT OF ANY COMMERCIALLY-AVAILABLE NON-MECHANICAL SCANNING TECHNOLOGY.
