Laser Range Evaluation Guide for Bioenvironmental Engineers

Abstract

The USAFOEHL/RZ was requested by AFOMS/SGPR to develop a guide to assist base level Bioenvironmental Engineers in establishing safe range lasing operations. This report contains descriptions of potentially hazardous situations and the needed range safety controls. In addition, evaluations of lasers, both airborne and ground, of the systems currently being used throughout DOD are included. Keywords: Laser range safety, Laser footprint, Range finders, Laser range hazards, Designators.
