LADAR Innovative Development and Research (LIDR) STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVE/NEEDS: The objective of this effort is to conduct innovative research and development (R&D) of electro-optical components and technology, furthering advanced warfighting capabilities and supporting the existing and emerging needs of the Air Force and DoD. It is expected that these will be accomplished through laboratory experimentation, component fabrication and analysis, system integration, modeling and simulation (M&S), field and flight testing, signal analysis, target fabrication, and evaluation. The primary goal of this effort is to develop advanced sensor technologies and techniques successfully operable in contested and denied environments meeting Air Force air superiority, global precision attack, rapid global mobility, special operations, and global integrated Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) service core function needs. LADAR Innovative Development and Research (LIDR) will continue to advance state-of-the-art active and associated passive electro-optical and infrared (EO/IR) technologies, seek synergies with active and passive radio frequency (RF) technologies, and define and test the integrability of these technologies in support of the Air Force and Department of Defense (DoD) warfighter. The primary focus of current Air Force needs is enhanced combat identification and high resolution wide area three-dimensional imaging (WATI). This research is organized across four primary
The Air Force Research Laboratory Sensors Directorate (AFRL/RY) will be holding an Industry Day on 13 December 2018 to discuss the "Laser Radar (LADAR) Innovative Development and Research (LIDR) and Asynchronous Geiger Mode LADAR Receiver Development (A-GMLRD)," program, Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) #FA8650-19-S-1013.
