Laser Measurement Techniques Guide for a Hazard Evaluation

Abstract

This technical guide provides uniform DOD guidance when performing radiometric measurements upon laser systems to conduct a hazard evaluation. This guide was prepared for the Laser System Safety Working Group to provide same joint service standardized techniques for laser measurements and the hazard evaluation of military laser systems. This technical guide should facilitate acceptance of hazard evaluations performed by other services. Although this technical guide could be applied to any laser system, it was developed primarily for outdoor military combat and training lasers and should be used when evaluating the engineering development, advanced development, and production models.
