Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A system includes a laser source configured to generate laser energy and a LADAR source configured to generate LADAR energy. The system also includes a beam director configured to direct the laser energy as a laser beam towards a target and to direct the LADAR energy as a LADAR beam towards the target. The system further includes a LADAR detector configured to sense a received portion of the LADAR energy reflected from the target. In addition, the system includes one or more first filters configured to attenuate at least a portion of the laser energy following an optical path towards the LADAR detector while allowing at least part of the received portion of the LADAR energy reflected from the target to pass to the LADAR detector.
