An S-64 heavy-lift helicopter operated by Erickson Air-Crane carried the ALHAT lidar equipment during recent flight tests at NASA’s Dryden Flight Research Center. The helicopter flew over a varied obstacle course set up on Rogers Dry Lake adjacent to NASA Dryden at Edwards, CA to test the sensor’s ability to distinguish the various materials, sizes, shapes, and colors while providing precision vehicle velocity and position.July 26, 2010
