Army Research Laboratory

There are weather hazards posed to soldiers, autonomous robotic agents, manned and
unmanned vehicles, accurate airborne delivery of Army payloads, etc. The environment
also impacts the transmission of RF signals for communication, the transmission of
acoustic signals generated by vehicular and munitions activity on the battlefield, the
transport and dispersion of aerosols/pollution/chem-bio weapons on the battlefield, etc.
Therefore, Army scientists research the weather and environment to ensure increased
forecast accuracy and situational awareness, resulting in significant efficiencies and cost
savings for Army operations. This workshop will cover basic concepts of remote sensing
and introduce coherent Doppler lidar/radar. In addition, we will provide examples of the
different types of research we have engaged in with Doppler lidar, and there will be an
opportunity for participants to explore Doppler lidar data via an interactive MATLAB script
