Summary:A portable non-contact sensor system including a laser generator subsystem, a laser detector subsystem, a beam steering subsystem, an analysis subsystem, a power management subsystem, a user interface, and a communications interface. The laser generator subsystem is configured to project a plurality of laser pulses at a surface of an object that is to be characterized. The laser detector subsystem is configured to receive return laser pulses from the object. The analysis subsystem is configured to analyze the received return pulses and characterize the object.
