天基激光雷达在美国“战略防御倡仪”(SDI)计划发展的“监视、捕获、跟踪与杀伤效果判定”(SATKA)技术中占有十分重要的地位。在SDI计划迄今所进行三次大型空间监视试验(德尔它-180,181和183试验)中,都包括试验天基激光雷达。在1986年9月进行的德尔它-180试验中,美国试验了世界上的第一部天基激光雷达,用以提供精确的目标测距数据,证明能够用天基激光雷达发现目标、识别目标和跟踪目标。在1988年2月进行的德尔它-181 Space-based lidar plays a very important role in SATKA technology in the development of the U.S. Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) program. Three space-based surveillance experiments carried out to date by the SDI program (the Del-180, 181 and 183 tests) include a test-based lidar. In the Del-180 trial in September 1986, the United States experimented with the world’s first space-based lidar to provide accurate target-ranging data that demonstrated that it was possible to identify and identify targets using space-based lidar And tracking goals.
