| Enhanced Resolution Flash LIDAR for Hazard Detection
A NEW CO-DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY Reference No: NNJ14ZBH011L Potential Commercial Applications: academic planetary exploration, Department of Defense (DoD), computational imaging, medical imaging communities, automotive navigation, drone navigation, and others Keywords: Laser Imaging, Detection and Ranging (LIDAR), Autonomous Hazard Detection/Avoidance Purpose: NASA JSC is seeking parties interested in co-developing technology associated with the Autonomous Landing and Hazard Avoidance Technology (ALHAT). The ALHAT Project addresses the development, integration, and testing of an advanced 3-D flash LIDAR camera with a detector array of 256x256 pixels or larger. The primary functional objectives for the advanced flash LIDAR camera are improvements in range accuracy, dynamic range, sensitivity, and overall noise characteristics. The primary design objectives are a larger detector array combined with reductions in size, mass, and power. The ALHAT technology can be updated and modified to address any earth-bound navigation challenges that requires real-time terrain mapping under any lighting conditions, and highly accurate ground relative range and velocity measurements to support precision navigation. Technology: The ALHAT Project has developed and tested sensor packages that have validated the utility of active LIDAR sensors for real-time hazard detection and precision landing. The ALHAT Project utilizes a 3-D flash LIDAR camera for real-time terrain mapping under any lighting conditions, and has also developed and tested advanced laser altimeter and Doppler LIDAR sensors that provide highly accurate ground relative range and velocity measurements to support precision landing. Enhancements desired include detecting variations in surface roughness of 30cm and local slopes of 5 degrees at operational ranges of 1000 meters or greater. NASA JSC seeks to advance the state-of-the-art in sensors and techniques for planetary landing systems. R&D Status: Upcoming autonomous, closed-loop flights of the current ALHAT system on the Morpheus 1.5B rocket-powered test bed at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) Shuttle Landing Facility (SLF) will mature the existing sensors. Intellectual Property (IP): Cooperative Relative Navigation of Spacecraft at Close Range using Flash LIDARs Flash LIDAR Cooperative Pose Software LIDAR Electro-optic beam switch with a Liquid Crystal Variable Retarder (T-00124) A Technique for Finding Retro-Reflectors in Flash LIDAR Imagery Detailed information for the above mentioned technologies furnished upon request. This co-development project may produce new IP that could be jointly owned by NASA and the partner or may become the property of the partner.
