David S. Hall, the mind behind lidar tech for autonomous vehicles, has set his sights on the defense sector with a new detection system that tracks high-speed airborne objects.
His Cam-Lidar tech fuses lidar, modern camera optics, and AI to lock onto objects as small as a laptop traveling near Mach 1 (1,225 kilometers/761 miles per hour).
It can track targets from over two kilometers (1.2 miles) away while generating real-time 3D maps of its surroundings.
