Green laser and laser-guided weapons

Portable Lasers and Laser Pointer have many applications ranging from the spread of avian influenza and research for laser display and war. One of the most esoteric and least understood question directed bombs and missiles.

The basic idea is to paint or a laser pointer illuminates a target with a laser beam and a laser detector or sensor in a bomb / missile to detect the reflected laser light reflected from the target and the houseLight. The sensor detects the largest source of laser light and distract from the weapon to that source with course corrections with his oar (non powered weapons such as free fall bombs) or with motor (rockets).

The advantage of laser guided weapons is that hit a target with extreme precision and reduce or eliminate civilian deaths and property damage (collateral damage, the term commonly used by politicians and military). Laserguided weapons are smaller and contain less explosive than their counterparts running makes them cheaper to produce and then to launch aircraft and other platforms in order to take more of them.

The key element in the use of laser guided weapons is the illumination of the target of laser light. This will be achieved through one of two ways usually. ground near the target of a laser pointer to highlight on a person to use the target or a laser mounted onweapons platform, whether an airplane or rocket is equipped with a laser that illuminates the target. A classic example of the use of laser weapons is a reconnaissance group to infiltrate enemy territory and shed light on the target.

do laser guided weapons have drawbacks. The weapons are stored only if they see the laser beam. This means that when the jet fumes of bad weather or dusty conditions can not be blocked by weaponsaccount is maintained. This severely limited the use of these weapons in desert warfare, as war in Iraq.

A common misconception is that a shared green laser pointer can be used in the air with these weapons, and pity the poor fool who did this when the laser is a laser guided Bomb. The use of laser guided weapons are infrared (visible laser will tell you the location of the enemy), that a pulsed laser system, which is encoded on the sensor for useWeapon. The weapon is at home in a laser with a proper code. Your trusted friends green laser pointer to do things like create many views lasers, and entertain your search. It 'still in prison, treat you badly if you end up but it is not laser guided missiles down.
