Two Air Force Civil Engineer Center directorates are teaming up to spearhead demonstrations showcasing how combining technologies can protect Warfighters when assessing potentially dangerous situations like those following an enemy attack or natural disaster. Experts believe surveying these types of situations can be done by equipping small drones and other unmanned robots with ‘Lidar’ or light detection ranging.
