DARPA developing mini-LIDAR

Terrestrial Lidar to Map Flooding from Hurricane Isaac
DARPA is developing miniature laser imaging systems.

The Modular Optical Aperture Building Blocks (MOABB) program aims to develop ultracompact light detection and ranging systems, according to a DARPA news release. LIDAR sends out light and then measures distance by how long the reflected light takes to return. Unlike cameras, which take 2-D images, LIDAR is 3-D. However, the technology is too bulky for widespread use.
