2. Operators. All operators shall receive training prior to operating any<br />
laser on the aspects of laser operations listed below.<br />
a. Operation of the laser system.<br />
b. Hazards and safety precautions relative to laser operations in<br />
general.<br />
c. All provisions listed in this Chapter.<br />
3. LSSO Firing Logs. The LSSO will provide a copy of the laser-firing log<br />
(Appendix G) to LONGRIFLE. The log will contain the date, time, type of<br />
lasers, name of the operators, direction, and distance.<br />
4. Laser Restrictions<br />
a. Positive two-way communication shall be maintained, at all times,<br />
between the laser system operator and LONGRIFLE.<br />
b. There shall be no laser firing during rain, fog, or any other<br />
inclement conditions.<br />
c. Lasing will cease when the RSO, LSSO, operator, or LONGRIFLE has<br />
concerns a<strong>bo</strong>ut target designation or tracking.<br />
d. LSSO responsibilities shall not be delegated.<br />
e. Only authorized targets may be designated or ranged.<br />
f. The laser shall always be pointed down-range (toward the target or<br />
impact area).<br />
g. Whenever the laser is in use, all unprotected personnel in the<br />
immediate vicinity of the laser firing position shall remain behind the laser<br />
operator.<br />
h. Never designate or range aircraft, moving vehicles, personnel, or<br />
animals.<br />
i. Personnel without laser eye protection shall not use optical devices<br />
(i.e., binoculars) or look down-range during laser operations.<br />
j. Prior to lasing, the target shall be positively identified under the<br />
cross hairs of the scope or on the operator’s monitor.<br />
k. Never designate water, glass, mirrors, plexiglas, or any other<br />
specular reflector. Specular reflector is defined as any shiny surface, which<br />
might reflect the laser beam.<br />
l. Prior to commencing air<strong>bo</strong>rne lasing operations, a flyover of the<br />
range shall be made to ensure no unprotected or unauthorized personnel, or<br />
animals are in the laser hazard area.<br />
m. Unprotected personnel shall not be allowed within the beam path and<br />
its associated buffer zone without protective laser optics. Eye protection<br />
shall have curved lenses and an optical density (OD) appropriate to the<br />
wavelength of the laser system being utilized.<br />
