Airborne laser hydrography is an emerging technology which has the potential of performing large amounts of bathymetric surveys rapidly and inexpensively. The accuracy, applicability, and economics of laser bathymetric surveying are discussed. The characteristics of a scanning laser bathymetric system being developed under direction of the United States’ Defense Mapping Agency are presented.
