AN/GVS-5 Laser Infrared Observation Set
SYSTEM PARAMETERS
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The AN/GVS-5 is a infrared laser observation device designed to
Type: Nd-YAG
Wavelength: 1064 nm
accurately determine distances between the operator and selected targets.
SYSTEM HAZARDS
HAZARD CONTROLS (to reduce or eliminate risk)
Laser Classification ............
This system contains a Class 3b or 4 laser and requires an established laser safety program
to ensure its safe use. Develop a written Local Standing Operating Procedure (SOP) IAW
guidelines provided in this TB.
Hazard distance .................
Do not permit personnel to view the laser from within the beam at distances less than
2.7 km for unaided viewing or 13 km when viewing the laser through magnifying optical
instruments. Utilizing a red filter (OD = 1.9), do not permit personnel to view the laser
from within the beam at distances less than 290 m for unaided viewing or 1.8 km when
viewing the laser through magnifying optical instruments. Utilizing a yellow filter
(OD = 2.9), do not permit personnel to view the laser from within the beam at distances
less than 56 m for unaided viewing or 550 m when viewing the laser through magnifying
optical instruments.
Ocular injury ....................
Use protective eyewear that filter at 1064 nm with a minimum OD of 3.8 for unaided
viewing and a minimum OD of 4.4 for viewing through magnifying optical instruments.
Utilize caution when operating or maintaing this device. Several accidents have occurred
at close range, resulting in permanent eye damage.
Outdoor range operations .....
Eliminate all specular surfaces (man made and natural) capable of producing potentially
hazardous reflections. Control unauthorized personnel access to controlled area. Use a
10 mrad buffer zone when training with the laser. Appoint a qualified Laser Range Safety
Officer.
Other...............................
Consult the equipment Technical Manual for other operator and/or maintenance hazards.
