[QUOTE="THEIS, post: 1300345, member: 99239"] Hello, LIDAR and LIDAR Hybrid systems are the "future" tech on wind sensing, not lasers. Scaling the size down to "civilian" level is the last hurdle that needs to be jumped (IMO) for you to start seeing this technology gain traction in the "civilian" market. Right now the leading wind sensing LIDAR system is 12 pounds and (depending on options) sucks up 18W of power and have a 5-6Km range with crosswind and vertical wind accuracy of under 2mph. Plus the other problem with laser wind sensing is..the laser cannot be arched in accordance to the projectile flight path so it is/would just be a guess anyways. LIDAR systems can provide measurements at actual projectile flight path. THEIS [/QUOTE]
