About
Josh Walters is a researcher specializing in LiDAR-based remote sensing for infrastructure assessment, with a particular focus on military and airfield applications. His work addresses the critical challenge of rapidly evaluating damage to runways and other strategic assets following attacks, enabling faster restoration of operations. His most-cited paper, "Scanning LiDAR for airfield damage assessment" (2018), explores the use of LiDAR sensors to detect and precisely locate craters, spall, unexploded ordnance, and debris—key elements for efficient post-strike repair. While his citation count remains modest, Walters’ contributions are highly relevant to defense and civil engineering communities, where practical impact often outweighs bibliometric metrics. His research bridges sensor technology, automated detection algorithms, and real-world deployment constraints, offering actionable solutions for infrastructure resilience. Walters’ work is particularly valuable for students and researchers interested in applied remote sensing, disaster response, and military engineering, demonstrating how cutting-edge sensing can solve pressing operational problems.
