Summary
The components of an airborne laser profiling system are briefly reviewed and the accuracy specifications discussed. A test flight is scheduled which is to demonstrate the operational features of the system. The data analysis is expected to allow conclusions about obtainable accuracy and the conditions and economy of practical application.
