MWB/LB-155 : Lasers & Range Safety
This course will cover material of a Laser course, but not in the depth
of the five day course;also covered will be aspects of the Safety:Ballistic
course, again in a reduced portion from the original five day course.
This course is a combination of portions of a previously developed and given
Laser course (with applications to Ballistics) combined with Range Safety
aspects for Ballistic Ranges.
* Lasers:Types and Methods and Properties of Operation
* Use of Lasers in Ballistics
* Holography:unique 3-Dimensional Use and Operation in Ballistic Ranges
* Lasers as Light sources;with fiber optics;visible and non-visible lasers
* Use of Lasers for alignment;velocity measurement;optics for lasers
* Safety procedures for Ballistic Ranges in General ;for Lasers in Particular
* Safety in Non-Visible Laser Range Facilities;Non-visible laser Fiber Optical Devices
* Instrumentation Safety associated with High Power Requirements and large capacitor devices (rail/EM guns, X-Rays, high energy lasers etc.)
* Safe operation in simulated and war games;laser designated targets;laser range finder sights and sighting devices
* laser light scattering due to atmospheric conditions
* Safety locks and interlocks for range facilities;personnel access control for all facilities;safety equipment and operating procedures.
* Laser Classifications;Methods of Classification; Safety Factors;Optics and atmospheric conditions which can effect Laser Classifications
* Biological Effects of Laser Energy;Laser Applications, Types and Designs in Medicine;On-The-Job Training-commercial, industrial and medical applications
