It was developed by engineers and scientists from the Navy, defense industry and academia. It involves commercial fiber solid-state 300mw Green Laser Pointer and has already successfully shot down flying targets.This paper explores how, in the two decades following the laser's invention, the popular image of the 300mw Green Laser Pointer weapon was transformed from a terrifying "death ray" capable of contaminating large areas to a surgically precise tool and rationale for a major new defense program.
Whereas previous histories of the burning laser pointer treat its popularizations as irrelevant to real-world developments, this account emphasizes that mass media provide sites for scientists and engineers to vie for control over the meaning and direction of technological development. Anyway, i'm perfectly ok on not having them, i like the idea of a sci fi game without the common laser stuff. This 2nd Generation Laser/Flashlight Combo features an updated wide-grasping quick release mount, and has been designed to fit most Picatinny rifle rails and handguns with built-in rail systems.
Experience with CONOPS, 300mw Green Laser Pointer efficacy, aero-optical effects, platform integration, beam director design and beam control design, weapon control design as well as laser safety, system safety considerations, control design, laser, thermal, and power system design, design assurance (Maintenance, service, spares/consumables), and laser sight weapon system ruggedness.All branches of the military and industry were striving to master high power levels, beam control, and adaptive optics.
I could be wrong but i don't remember any Laser Sight weapon in Battlestar Galactica serie, didin't watch the older one though. The 5mW Red Laser Sight/Flashlight Combo with 2nd Generation Mount is an integrated laser/flashlight combo that features a 200 lumen intense bright light and 5mW high power red laser sight.The late 1970s and 1980s, too, marked a busy time period for developing lasers into possible weapon systems.
The first burning laser pointer was developed in the 1960s and represented the beginning of a drastic change in how the military viewed warfare. In 2000, the Joint Technology Office for High Energy Lasers was formed to bring all laser technologies together to develop a complete laser weapon system that could be used by the warfighter.In 1999, the Department of Defense (DoD) formally recognized lasers as future weapons and began research and development (R&D).
