Abstract. This paper is the first in a series of short
tutorial articles loosely based on tutorial sessions given at the
Royal Military College of Science to Masters of Science (MSc)
students who are studying on defence technology courses. The purpose
of the tutorials is to enable students to do first-pass
(rough) calculations on various aspects of electro-optical system (electro-optical system
analysis). This type of electro-optical systems analysis is typical of
that which they may carry out in their potential future
role as defence analysts. This first paper looks at calculating
the power requirement of a laser and/or the sensitivity required
of the detector for laser-beam riding, laser-warning receivers and laser-designation
systems.
