SKIRON3D® employs a MOPA (Master-Oscillator-Power-Amplifier) configuration, and combines an all-fiber technique that enables excellent beam quality with high pulse energy for long-range measurements. The lidar is equipped with a comprehensive BITE (Built-In Test Equipment) system and offers full remote surveillance and control capability based on Leonardo’s Ravis® maintenance tool.
Leonardo’s proprietary wind lidar system offers a cost-effective and modular design featuring maximum use of COTS components and a high number of LRUs (Line-Replaceable Units) and sub-LRUs for low-cost spare parts. Special features such as a proprietary designed scanner without slip rings, air-knife no-contact optical window cleaning, and an integrated camera for lidar northing using the sun, moon, or a fixed target reflect the latest findings from research and technology.
