LiteWave's patented LiDAR overcomes the limitations of traditional bathymetric LiDAR.听For the first time, measuring features underwater at cm-level depth resolution is possible.听

LiteWave鈥檚 core technology emerged from the lab of听Jeffrey Thayer, professor emeritus and research professor in the听Ann and H.J. Smead Aerospace Engineering Sciences听(College of Engineering and Applied Science). In 2011, alongside two CU Boulder graduate students, he invented a new type of LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) that could 鈥榮ee鈥� objects in shallow water from above the water鈥檚 surface. LiteWave鈥檚 resulting Edge鈩� technology solves the problem of measuring water depth and identifying features in shallow water to a centimeter-level depth resolution. It is now used on unmanned aerial systems for mapping, surveying, hazard assessment, natural resource monitoring, disaster recovery and more.听LiteWave landed funding from the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT) and the university through CU Boulder鈥檚听Lab Venture Challenge听(LVC) in 2018.听听is a subsidiary of听, and has been acquired by听, a leading government technology and mission support provider.
