1. A geophysical sensing data processing system comprising:

  • a plurality of laser energy sources disposed about a target scene; and

    ,a mobile sensor unit comprising a positioning sensor coupled to a laser positioning system, and a geophysical sensor communicatively linked to the laser positioning system, the positioning sensor, laser positioning system and geophysical sensor all residing within the mobile sensor unit,the laser positioning system comprising multiple rotary laser positioning sensors all couples to a single processing unit programmed to resolve both position coordinates of the mobile sensor unit based upon a receipt of laser energy from the laser energy sources received by the multiple different rotary laser positioning sensors,the geophysical sensor being configured to visualize a surface and a sub-surface of the target scene.
