- Sandia National Laboratories to test Aeva's (AEVA, Financial) 4D LiDAR technology at a U.S. nuclear reactor site.
- Aeva's 4D LiDAR enables advanced intrusion detection, enhancing security at crucial infrastructure locations.
- Technology operates under challenging conditions, offering reliable perimeter protection.
Aeva Technologies, Inc. (AEVA) has announced that Sandia National Laboratories has completed its evaluation of Aeva’s 4D LiDAR technology. Sandia plans to further test this cutting-edge technology at a U.S. nuclear reactor site to bolster security measures, focusing on enhancing intrusion detection capabilities around critical areas such as water intakes essential for reactor safety.
This advanced 4D LiDAR technology, powered by Aeva’s proprietary Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) system, distinguishes itself with its ability to detect hard-to-see objects, including waterborne threats, at distances up to 35 meters. The system's precision in providing 3D positioning along with simultaneous velocity data ensures faster, more reliable threat identification, making it ideal for critical infrastructure security.
Aeva’s sensors are designed for continuous operation under various challenging conditions such as darkness, glare, and adverse weather, including fog, rain, and dust. This functionality makes them highly suitable for securing vital infrastructure sites. The collaboration with Sandia underscores the increasing demand for sophisticated perception technologies in national security applications, meeting complex threat scenarios with robust solutions.
James Reuther, Chief Engineer at Aeva, expressed satisfaction over the selection by Sandia, highlighting the milestone as significant progress for the broader adoption of Aeva’s 4D LiDAR in securing critical infrastructure nationwide, including nuclear facilities, airports, and power plants.
