Since 1986, the USAF Wright Laboratories have conducted a series of related test programs and technology development activities with the purpose of determining the feasibility of using diode-laser radar systems as sensors for autonomous targeting guided weapons. Schwartz Electro-Optics, working under a USAF contract to develop a diode-laser radar for submunition applications, has developed a real-time imaging diode-laser radar system which employs a proprietary algorithm for target recognition and classification. In captive flight testing using a remotely piloted vehicle (RPV), the system has been used to detect, classify, and determine aim-points of targets in a high-clutter environment; false-color range and gray-scale reflectance imagery were displayed in real-time. The testing yielded excellent target acquisition performance. The 42000 frames of range and reflectance data which were obtained during the testing are being used for further development for the target recognition and classification (TRAC) algorithm. This paper reviews the imaging diode-laser radar development and captive flight test program.
