The manager has approve the photoelectric technology

In January 1999 the German Federal Border Army for the new EC-135 and EC-155 helicopters ordered 25 Hellas obstacle detection laser radar Germany Dassault Electronics (dassault Electronique) and the British company Marconi, co-developed laser radar Clara. This pod LIDAR the use of CO2 laser that can detect the type of obstacle pole and cable, and have terrain following, target distance and direction, moving target indicator that can be used airplanes and helicopters. The manager has approve the photoelectric technology of  laser pointer .
German electronics company Dassault, Zeiss optic and the British GEC-Marconi Avionics, Marconi SpA, jointly developed by Eloise CO2 laser radar, is another obstacle Helicopter alarm system can provide early 10s in front of 5mm cable with alarm, so that the helicopter in flight operations under adverse weather conditions. Marconi SpA company also provides self-developed Loam obstacle avoidance system. The system uses eye-safe laser technology to detect wires, trees, masts and other obstacles. Pilots to receive visual and audible alarm, display the shape of obstacles, position, direction and distance. Laser radar by measuring the small amount of naturally occurring atmospheric backscattering particles, can detect wind speed, turbulence detection, real-time measurement of the wind farm. Since the returned backscatter radiation is very weak, and therefore need to use air monitoring sensitive laser radar receiver. The photoelectric technology of  laser pointer  will be adopted by this workshop.
In the high-altitude bombing and other weapons of a problem is encountered, the wind disturbance down trajectory. U.S. Air Force tried to use the main approach is to use inertial devices to increase the tail or GPS-guided, correct flight path. But this increased the cost of throwing all kinds of weapons. Air Force Materiel Command ongoing ballistic wind project, using another method, namely the use of airborne laser radar to provide real-time information on wind throw area, so by adjusting the throwing point, to compensate for wind. The program's goal is to measure the time between aircraft and ground-dimensional wind field maps, allowing accurate from an altitude of over 3000m threw. Stratified by 100m wind farm plans, speed accuracy of 0.5m / s or less.
