2015 RALETC Lidar Sensitivity Testing Results featuring the Stinger VIP

[Mirage]

Since the Stinger heads are square, do they have a specific installation orientation?

I think I once read that the receive heads are typically toed out for the AU market? If this is the case and they are required to be specifically oriented, is it possible that they have a larger coverage area toward the center while toed out?
Maybe they'll have to come up with entirely new heads for the U.S. market.

These are the new heads for the US market. They are mounted exactly per instructions and they require quite a bit of work to get them perfectly in alignment. If you take a look at the receive heads up close you can see the problem. It's a design issue unfortunately. What I don't know is whether or not it was intentional. Regardless count on it taking more heads to get good performance. @Tman, the transmit heads are a completely different story. These are much more difficult to measure because the Stinger requires a GPS signal with speed above 18 mph before the "LaserShield" can be engaged. (ie transmit heads). I was able to get it to work on my bench inside my house when the GPS signal was not acquired, but now that it's mounted on the car it's going to be a challenge. Regardless we do plan to measure the angle of dispersion much like we did on previous heads from other jammers. it just maybe sometime before that happens.
