Abstract: A high energy, chirped pulse laser was used to demonstrate long range, high resolution radar. A broadband nanosecond chirped pulse propagated to a target, and upon compression sub-millimeter surface resolution was obtained. This technique avoided the nonlinear effects in air that were seen when a picosecond pulse propagated to the target.
