Analysis and development thinking on the application of airborne blue-green lidar in MCM operation

Abstract

Due to its excellent concealment and difficulty in deployment and removal, mines have become a recognized challenge for the world navy in MCM operation. Airborne blue-green Lidar technology is one of the new technologies in ocean exploration. Due to its smaller impact on shallow water environments compared to traditional mine detection payloads, it can be used as a new type of mine detection payload to compensate for the shortcomings of traditional detection methods in shallow water areas. With the development of unmanned equipment, unmanned aerial vehicles equipped with airborne blue-green Lidar for mine detection will become one of the new mine detection methods in MCM operation. By analyzing the current development status of airborne blue-green Lidar in MCM operation at home and abroad, combined with the detection and positioning principles of airborne blue-green Lidar, this paper summarizes the application characteristics and combat effectiveness of unmanned aerial vehicles carrying blue-green Lidar in MCM operation. Finally, the development trend of future airborne blue-green Lidar technology is analyzed and forecasted based on the requirements of MCM operation.
