Abstract

Laser dazzling is a threat both to military and civilian operations. It also enables protection capabilities against hostile fire from different kind of weapons. Laser dazzlers can also serve as warning devices in checkpoint and riot control and others. Williamson and McLin has presented a model for eye laser dazzling partly based on the earlier framework for laser safety calculations. We have used this model to investigate dazzling performance for humans under different atmospheric condition such as scattering, extinction and turbulence. We also shortly discuss the influence of optics in front of the eye such as windshields or magnifying optics. The results will be discussed in relation to potential scenarios.
