TLOS (Target Location and Observation System)
SYSTEM PARAMETERS
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The TLOS is a man-portable day/night target location system used to detect enemy
Type: Ga:Al:As diode array
threat optical/electro-optical sensors and targeting systems. The TLOS consists of
an Augmented Optical Sight (AOS) which is typically mounted on a M-16 rifle.
CLASSIFIED
HAZARD CONTROLS (to reduce or eliminate risk)
SYSTEM HAZARDS
Laser Classification..............
The TLOS is a Class 3b laser with the training filter in position. The TLOS laser emits
optical radiation that exceeds the current protection standard. The TLOS is considered
safe if operators are informed of the hazards and use appropriate precautions.
Laser Hazard distance ..........
With the training filter in position, do not permit unprotected personnel to enter the beam
path at distances less than 2.5 m for unaided viewing and 15 m for optically aided
viewing. Do not permit unprotected personnel to enter the beam path at distances less
than 25 m from the direct beam.
Ocular injury .....................
The TLOS is capable of causing marginal damage to the unprotected eye. Use eye
protection with a minimum OD of 2.5 at the laser wavelength for aided and unaided
intrabeam viewing at any range.
Other...............................
Consult the equipment Technical Manual for other operator and/or maintenance hazards.
To prevent accidental lasing do not remove the eye cup interlock.
