- Description
- NASA/GSFC has a requirement for Airborne Terrestrial LiDAR Scanning System Minimum Requirements/Specifications: The terrestrial scanning LiDAR system must meet the following technical specifications: - Instrument will have the ability to sense multi-layered vegetation and soils in a range of naturally occurring leaf and soil moisture conditions. - Instrument will be compact (~360x210x220 mm) to fit inside existing NASA G-LiHT airborne imaging package with unobstructed view through camera port (see Cook et al., 2013, NASA Goddard's Lidar, Hyperspectral and Thermal (G-LiHT) airborne imager, Remote Sensing 5:4045-4066, doi:10.3390/rs5084045). - Instrument will be lightweight (<12 kg) so as not to exceed in NASA G-LiHT payload and stress analysis. - Instrument will be low power (<70 Watts) to use power supplied by most general aviation aircraft. - Instrument will use a a 1550 nm, IEC and ANSI Class 1 Eye safe laser with a narrow beam divergence (0.3 mrad) that is capable of sensing canopy gaps and accommodating a wide range of scanning angles (up to 60 degrees field of view). - Instrument must be capable of digitizing echo signals online and recording multiple targets (up to 8 returns per laser pulse) in multi-layered plant canopies. - Instrument will be programmable and have multi-mode operations for optimizing sampling in different plant canopies; including a selectable wide field of view (up to 60 degrees), variable scan speed and angular step width. - LiDAR instrument will have a programmable laser pulse repetition rate of 50 to 550 kHz, and robust rotating polygon mirror that produces an effective measurement rate of 25,000 to 275,000 measurements per second in a linear, cross-track sampling pattern. The higher measurement rate will permit efficient airborne data collections, and the lower rates will permit greater energy output for penetrating dense forest canopies. The linear distribution of sample points provides better spatial sampling than a scanning mirror design. - LiDAR instrument must have a measurement range of 400 to 1300 m for "natural targets" (reflectivity ≥20%) at pulse repetition rates of 550 to 50 kHz, respectively. This will permit reasonable flying altitudes in areas with hilly terrain, and swath widths suitable for wall-to-wall mapping. - Instrument will support real-time synchronized time stamping of data for accurate post-processing. - Instrument will use a LAN (10/100/1000 Mbit/sec) data interface to facilitate the rapid transfer of large data volumes between the LiDAR and data acquisition computer. - Instrument will be sealed in a IP64 dust and splash-proof case, with an operational temperature range of -10 to 40 degrees C for field deployments in harsh environmental conditions. - Purchase will include integration of lidar and Applanix POSTrack GPS-INS provided by NASA. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12 and the Simplified Acquisition Procedures set forth in FAR Part 13.
