- analyze the performance of a LIDAR system and identify engineering tradeoffs;
- describe the different types of LIDARs and their applications;
- and understand how LIDARs can be used for directed energy applications.
This course was previously taught as a semester long undergraduate/graduate level
course and a longer version is offered as a professional short course through Georgia Tech Professional Education.
Intended Audience: This course is primarily intended for engineers and scientists who have taken college
level physics 2 who are looking to better understand LIDAR remote sensing technology. Additionally, managers and
non-technical persons will also be able to take away a fundamental understanding of the underlying key technologies.

Course 4. Satellite Safety During Laser Firings & Laser Deconfliction
Classification: CUI, Limited Distribution C
Instructor: Thomas Nadobny
Duration: Half-day course; 0800-1200
Credits awarded: 2 CLPs
Course Description: This course is intended to teach the "Why, Who, What, How and What's New" of satellite
safety during laser firings. Special emphasis will be placed on one of the primary risk mitigation approaches: laser
deconfliction - the process by which satellites are protected from accidental illumination by lasers.
The Department of Defense uses a comprehensive risk analysis process for satellite safety -- deconfliction is a
critical piece of the testing process for DoD lasers and DoD test ranges. A knowledgeable and proactive approach by
the development and testing organizations can maximize safe firing opportunities and minimize frustration. The course
is also intended to help the laser community work together in this area and provide a consistent source of
information on current issues, capabilities developed by various DoD organizations, and what's in store for the
future. The course has recently been updated to include the Navy's development of a generic software-only safety
system that is available for DoD laser programs as well as the innovative new capability called Special Use Space
Ranges.
The goals of this course are to familiarize the student with the reasons behind the risk management process,
provide details on how to work effectively with the Laser Clearinghouse (LCH), share technical and operational
information on risk mitigation tools, and disseminate information on points of contact to simplify and clarify the
process. In addition, the course will cover efforts in the laser and satellite communities to standardize the process
and make the safety requirements align with risk assessment methodologies.
Topics to be covered include:
- Intro - who, what, where, when, how of satellite safety during laser firings
- Policy - defining the DoD risk management policy, process, and environment for satellite safety during laser
firings
- Implementation - hazard assessments, risk mitigation approaches, and the process for how we keep satellites
safe
- Technical details - how do we identify risks? What tools are available? Understanding the planning, analysis,
validation, and authorization process for risk mitigation solutions
- Future innovations - new deconfliction approaches, Space Ranges, and Probabilistic Risk Analysis
Intended Audience: Anyone who is currently involved or anticipates involvement in laser system development,
testing, or fielding will benefit from this course. Test planners and managers as well as those technically involved
with the testing are welcome.

assessment for system level modeling codes. The high-fidelity modeling will describe the key parameters and the physics
associated with laser / material interaction. Engineering-level modeling codes will be described that identifies the
key target and laser parameters used to analyze a wide set of target scenarios and engagements. The full scope of
end-to-end modeling will be described as used in DoD Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) decision processes. This session
will be concluded with a description and demonstration of the HEL JTO published Laser Lethality Knowledge Base.
Intended Audience: Students attending this course should have an undergraduate degree in science or engineering.
