L3Harris Technologies had one patents in robotics during Q4 2023.L3Harris Technologies Inc has developed a system for detecting and identifying objects near rotary-wing/VTOL aircraft using LiDAR technology. The system involves installing LiDAR devices on the mast of the aircraft, pointing outward to avoid interference from rotor blades. The LiDAR devices scan the surrounding area as the mast rotates, providing information on potential threats to the aircraft.

The patent filed by L3Harris Technologies Inc. describes a system for detecting and identifying objects near rotary-wing/VTOL aircraft using LiDAR technology. The system involves installing LiDAR devices on a mast of the aircraft, oriented to avoid interference from rotor blades, and scanning the surrounding area as the mast rotates. A processor analyzes the data to determine if any detected objects pose a threat to the aircraft.
The system includes a mast sensor transmitter unit (MST) with a LiDAR emitter, detector, processor, and memory, transmitting laser pulses and receiving reflections to measure data about nearby objects. Additional components like cameras, accelerometers, and power generators may be included. The data is transmitted to a sensor processing unit (SPU) for analysis to determine if any objects pose a hazard within a specified detection volume. The SPU can then transmit this information to an Alert Display Module (ADM) within the aircraft to provide warnings and indications about the detected objects in relation to the aircraft's operation.
