Abstract. This paper is the third in a series on laser
technology. The focus is primarily the Ground Based Air defense
(GBAD) scenario but is applicable to other ground, air and
maritime environments. The purpose of the series is to investigate
a viable technique, which may be used for the identification
of GBAD Targets. Part 1 introduced and described areas of
laser technology, which are commonplace on the modern battlefield. Part
2 discussed laser safety, factors effecting laser performance and Ladar.
The calculations shown demonstrated Ladar’s potential as a long range
(>10 km), 24-hour, all-weather imaging capability, if it is accurately
cued. Part 3 examines Burst Illumination Laser (BIL), which is
the chosen technique for the GBAD target identification problem. A
method of calculating BIL performance is shown and the results
from the authors’ calculation tool are summarized.
