Claim 15:
16. A mobile defect detection platform for detecting internal defects in a target structure, including:
an excitation mechanism to apply multiple impact forces to the target structure while the mobile defect detection platform travels parallel to a face of the target structure;
at least two laser Doppler vibrometers to capture, while the mobile defect detection platform travels parallel to the face of the target structure, vibration data representing vibrations of the target structure caused by application of the multiple impact forces by the excitation mechanism; and
an input/output interface coupled to a modal parameter analyzer to communicate at least a portion of the vibration data captured by the at least two laser Doppler vibrometers to the modal parameter analyzer.
