  3D FLASH LIDAR IS IDEAL FOR DETERMINING REAL-TIME SPACECRAFT TRAJECTORY, SPEED, ORIENTATION, AND RANGE TO THE PLANET SURFACE, AS WELL AS EVALUATING POTENTIAL HAZARDS AT THE LANDING SITE. THE "FRAMING CAMERA" NATURE, OF 3D FLASH LIDAR SYSTEMS, MAKES THEM WELL SUITED AS HAZARD AVOIDANCE SENSORS FOR EDL. THE PHASE II EFFORT SEEKS TO IMPROVE THE RANGE PRECISION OF THE EXISTING TIGEREYETM 3D FLASH LIDAR SYSTEM, AND DO SO OVER A MUCH WIDER SIGNAL DYNAMIC RANGE. A RANGE CAPABILITY OF 1- 10,000 METER IS FEASIBLE. THIS EFFORT WILL DEMONSTRATE THE CAPABILITY BY PRODUCING AN ADVANCED SENSOR MODULE INCORPORATING NEWER DETECTORS AND OTHER SYSTEM ADVANCEMENTS. THIS ADVANCED SENSOR MODULE WILL BE INSTALLED ON NASA JPL'S 3D FLASH LIDAR TIGEREYETM CAMERA SYSTEM. ADVANCED SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS INC. (ASC) IS A SMALL BUSINESS, WHICH HAS DEVELOPED A NUMBER OF 3D FLASH LADAR SYSTEMS. FLASH LADAR SENSORS ARE 3D VIDEO SYSTEMS THAT RETURN RANGE AND INTENSITY INFORMATION FOR EACH PIXEL IN REAL TIME, AND IS FUNCTIONALLY EQUIVALENT TO 16000 RANGE FINDERS ON ONE CHIP. THE TIGEREYETM IS 1.2KG, 20 WATTS, AND 10 CM ON A SIDE.

  IGF::OT::IGF OTHER FUNCTION - 3D FLASH LIDAR (3DFL) IS IDEAL FOR DETERMINING REAL-TIME SPACECRAFT TRAJECTORY, SPEED AND ORIENTATION TO THE PLANET SURFACE, AS WELL AS EVALUATING POTENTIAL HAZARDS AT THE LANDING. THE "FRAMING CAMERA" NATURE OF 3DFL SYSTEMS MAKES THEM WELL SUITED AS HAZARD AVOIDANCE AND DOCKING SENSORS FOR EDL AND AR&D. 3DFL CAN PROVIDE A DIRECT, REAL-TIME MEASUREMENT OF THE ALTITUDE OF THE SPACECRAFT DURING DESCENT AS WELL AS SURFACE RELATIVE VELOCITY AND ORIENTATION, WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY MAPPING TERRAIN TOPOGRAPHY TO IDENTIFY LANDING HAZARDS AND PROVIDE LOCALIZATION INFORMATION. ASC HAS DEVELOPED THE CORE TECHNOLOGY FOR FLASH LIDAR WITH ITS 3D-FPA HYBRID, BUT WOULD LIKE TO WORK WITH NASA TO FURTHER ENHANCE THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THE 3D SENSOR BY ADDING EMBEDDED IMAGE ENHANCEMENT AND CLASSIFICATION ALGORITHMS. FOR THIS SBIR SOLICITATION, ASC IS DEVELOPING A NEW 3D FLASH LIDAR CAMERA ARCHITECTURE THAT ALLOWS FOR EMBEDDED PROCESSING OF 3D FLASH LIDAR POINT CLOUDS. ADVANCED SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS INC. (ASC) IS A SMALL BUSINESS THAT HAS DEVELOPED A NUMBER OF 3D FLASH LADAR SYSTEMS AND HAS TWICE SUCCESSFULLY FLOWN 3DFL CAMERAS (DRAGONEYES) ON SPACE SHUTTLE (STS 127 AND 133) RENDEZVOUS AND DOCKING DTO MISSIONS WITH THE ISS; THE FIRST 3DFL IN SPACE.
