HGSS (HELLFIRE Ground Support Simulator)

SYSTEM PARAMETERS

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The HGSS is a component of the Air-to-Ground Engagement System

Type: Ga:As

II (AGES II) Simulator System.

Erbium Glass

1540 nm

HAZARD CONTROLS (to reduce or eliminate risk)

SYSTEM HAZARDS

Laser Classification..............

This system lasers are considered Class 3a. They are considered safe if the operators are

informed of the hazards and use appropriate precautions.

Ocular injury .....................

Intentional viewing of the erbium glass laser is avoided due to normal glass absorption in

magnifying optics. Do not permit personnel to view the gallium-arsenide laser beam

within 200 m with unprotected optics. Optical systems which have a built-in (or added)

OD of 0.7 or greater will provide adequate protection for both lasers at any viewing

distance.

Other...............................

Consult the equipment Technical Manual for other operator and/or maintenance hazards.

SYSTEM HAZARDS

HAZARD CONTROLS (to reduce or eliminate risk)

Power Density Levels (PDL) ....

This system is not able to produce potentially hazardous PDLs in excess of the safety

standard and is not subject to radiation protection control.

Hazard distance from antenna ....

Ensure personnel do not operate the radio with the antenna within 2.5 cm from the body.

Other.................................

Consult the equipment Technical Manual for other operator and/or maintenance hazards.
