Laser Range Safety Tool (LRST) Physics Reference

Abstract

LRST is a software tool for calculating reflected energy hazards in the context of test range development of the Airborne Laser (ABL) system. The LRST software package consists of a suite of programs that provide facilities for describing and simulating test scenarios, including the range, the ABL aircraft laser complement, the target, and the observers. This manual provides a detailed description of the physical basis of the simulation and the computational algorithms utilized to calculate the radiometry and hazards.
