Nonionizing radiation protection special study: Exemption from new federal laser performance standards for tactical Army laser systems and field training lasers

A special study dealing with the requirements of an exemption from the new Federal laser performance standards on tactical Army laser systems was conducted by this Agency. It was determined that the exemption will have an immediate impact upon tactical lasers now in production. It was also evident that a military standard or specification would greatly aid in the implementation of the intent of the exemption to assure system safety features in tactical lasers.
