ABSTRACT:
A ranging and velocity measuring system in which a laser beam is periodically deflected through an angular scan by a reference periodic wave and energy reflected from an object is detected and compared with the reference wave to determine range to the object. By measuring the range to the object at two different times, the velocity of the object toward or away from the detector can be determined.
