Sierra Nevada Corp. has been selected to advance to the third phase of a U.S. Army competition to develop a system that can help pilots operate in fog, dirt and other limited visibility conditions, National Defense reported Friday.

The U.S. Geological Survey has tapped Dewberry to update base elevation models for the Florida Panhandle region using post-hurricane data from light detection and ranging sensors.

The U.S. Geological Survey has tapped Dewberry to obtain, process and build 3D elevation data that will cover nearly 42.3K-square miles within Southern Idaho from quality levels one and two lidar datasets.

Dewberry will lead an industry team to complete a mapping project in Florida using airborne light detection and ranging technology under a potential $20M contract from the U.S. Geological Survey. The company said Wednesday it will collaborate with seven industry partners to collect lidar, survey the ground and prepare digital …

Argo AI has granted Ball Aerospace exclusive rights to manufacture light detection and ranging camera systems for potential use in government, space and defense missions. Ball Aerospace said Monday it will produce Geiger-mode avalanche photodiode LiDAR technology intended to function as a key component of non-conventional imaging and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance platforms. The …

Dewberry will help the U.S. Geological Survey identify the impact of Hurricane Maria on Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands through the collection of topographic data via light detection and ranging. The company said Wednesday it will gather and process Quality Level 1 lidar data under the USGS Geospatial Product and Services …

Neptec Design Group has received a potential $15 million contract from the U.S. Navy to develop a light detection and ranging pose sensor technology.
