Michigan Aerospace Corporation produces Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) instruments for ground, sea, air and space, including applications in the wind energy industry. The company has expertise in all aspects of LIDAR system development for measurement of atmospheric parameters. We are the premier company in the U.S. for the development of Fabry-Perot interferometers and related optical systems, and hold patents on several devices that increase the performance and efficiency of these instruments to unprecedented levels. These capabilities have resulted in hardened systems with the size, weight, and power characteristics that enable operation on demanding aircraft, spacecraft and ground platforms.
