Abstract
This report specifies a scanning laser rangefinder which is specifically designed for high speed autonomous vehicles. This new scanner, called Tornado, represents a departure from conventional sensors in that it looks farther downrange in order to detect obstacles earlier. This made it possible to maintain a wide horizontal field of view, good obstacle resolving power, high throughput and good uniformity of the scan all at the same time. Tornado utilizes a narrow vertical field of vThis report presents in Appendix A the CHAMPUS Catastrophic Quarterly Payment Reports for the Second Quarter Fiscal Year (FY) 1994 for each of the Army Gateway catchment areas. Each Payment Report lists Privacy Act protected hospitalization patient cases having CHAMPUS claims totaling more than the catchment area's specific FY 1994 catastrophic cutoff amount either at the end of the First Quarter FY 1994 and/or at the end of the Second Quarter Finematics transforms for all existing laser rangefinders. A short study of the design constraints that limit rangefinder performance is presented. The results of this work provide useful relationships for reference purposes.Keywords
