Abstract

The LADAR (Laser Radar) is usually limited in detection and tracking range under adverse atmospheric conditions. The detection and tracking are' degraded especially for ground and low altitude systems. This work addresses the optimized design of a dual mode LADAR/RADAR system with respect to parameters such as range and atmospheric conditions. Computational results for specific RADAR Systems show improvement for ranges beyond 30 km.
