The helicopter remote wind sensor (HRWS) is an application of a laser Doppler velocimeter. This system description describes the HRWS fabricated by Raytheon Company for the US Army Atmospheric Sciences Laboratory. The HRWS was designed to measure wind fields in an aircraft turbulent environment. The operational emphasis is to augment an attack helicopter's fire control system. This CO2 laser heterodyne system remotely measures three dimensional winds from 1 to 33 meters in front of the sensor. The HRWS was mounted in an external pod compatible with AH-1, AAH and UH-1 wing stores or a fixed wing aircraft equipped with standard wing shackles. The HRWS theory, functions, and subsystem are discussed. Data from flight and ground testing will be presented in a later report. (Author)
