Aeva LiDAR selected to protect energy infrastructure

News

The company says its technology, which integrates key LiDAR components onto a silicon photonic chip, offers unique benefits including instant velocity data for every point, ultra-long range, and improved immunity to detection

Aeva, a company developing next-generation sensing and perception systems, has announced that a top national defence security organisation has chosen its 4D LiDAR technology to help protect critical energy infrastructure sites across the United States. The company says its sensors are expected to be the primary detection sensor to protect sensitive locations in various facilities from intrusion, such as water entries and exits and at perimeter fences, with first deliveries expected later this year.

According to Aeva, its 4D LiDAR sensors were selected because of the unique benefits associated with its FMCW-based technology, including instant velocity data for every point, and immunity to interference, ensuring reliable performance when the sun is in the sensor’s field of view. The company added that its sensors offer ultra-long range, high-density point cloud – ensuring that the sensor can detect small objects with ease – and improved immunity to detection.

“After evaluating multiple sensing technologies, including 3D time-of-flight LiDAR, this top national defence security organisation selected Aeva 4D LiDAR because of our pioneering work in FMCW-based perception technology,” said James Byun, managing director of business development at Aeva. “This win further validates the growing applications for and unique benefits of Aeva’s technology for some of the most demanding and high-stakes physical security applications, which complement our existing automotive and industrial programmes, and we are pleased that our technology is trusted to help protect some of the most sensitive critical infrastructure sites across the country.”
