Review of Personnel Susceptibility to Lasers: Simulation in SIMNET-D for CTAS-2.0.
Abstract
The purpose of this report is to provide an overview of retinal laser bioeffects and document the rationale for their characterization in simulated virtual battlefield networks (i.e., SIMNET-D) for the CTAS 2.0 exercises. Specifically, the goals of this report are to: (a) explain retinal laser bioeffects in layman 5 terms so that their biological and perceptual consequences can be understood by persons not having vision science backgrounds; (b) recommend methods of ideally simulating retinal laser bioeffects in computerized virtual battlefields given what is currently known about these bioeffects and the present state-of-the-art computer graphics technology; (c) propose a mapping of these ideal simulations to reasonable laser bioeffect simulations that are achievable for the CTAS-2.0 test given the capabilities the computer graphic software that SIMNET-D is known to possess; and (d) recommend methods of simulating laser bioeffects with LEP devices, called electro-optical counter countermeasures (EOCCM), and provide the rationale for these recommendations.
