Abstract: A concealed light detection and ranging system (LIDAR) for detecting, confusing, and jamming external laser, radar, infrared and other varieties of velocity and position detectors. The LIDAR mounts in numerous different locations on a vehicle such as the brake light, grill, door handle, etc. By utilizing a plethora of locations on the vehicle to receive and transmit light signals, the LIDAR allows generated light pulses to be carried by a network of fiber optic cables to the front, rear, top and sides of the vehicle. This ubiquitous positioning of the LIDAR on the vehicle allows for efficient reception and emission of light pulses to detect and/or, jam LIDAR guns, parking sensors, and proximity sensors without the need for the electronics to be exposed or mounted in the actual reception and transmission locations. When configured to detect lasers, the LIDAR further may include a laser receiver and pulse shaping device.
