How many feet away can the Class IV laser used by ATIRCM cause damage?

The Class IV laser used by ATIRCM (Advanced Threat Infrared Countermeasures) can cause damage at a distance of 100 feet. This classification reflects the laser's power and potential for damage, indicating that it can pose significant risk to eyesight and other materials when operated under certain conditions.

Understanding the impact range of a Class IV laser is crucial for safety and operational procedures. The 100 feet distance is based on the ability of the laser to maintain enough intensity to cause harm; beyond this range, the effectiveness of the laser diminishes considerably. This knowledge is essential for personnel who work with or around these lasers to adopt necessary precautions and ensure compliance with safety regulations.
