Compact Lidar System — Light  detection and ranging (lidar) sensors are essential tools used for a variety of  tasks such as terrestrial topographic mapping, navigation and docking in space,  and landings on planets or asteroids. Teledyne has proposed to develop a compact array  sensor. The improved lidar system will reduce the size and weight of the  equipment, while increasing the range, coverage rate, and resolution of mapping  technologies.
