Simulation of Laser Attacks against Aircrafts

Threats of laser attacks against transport planes are increasing around the world in the last time. Common laserpointers are used for suchattacks, which emit a continuous greenlaserbeam with the wavelength of λ = 532 nm, and the power emitted is hundreds of milliwatts. This situation is dealing with laws in many countries. The goal of the paper is to contribute to a solution to these dangerous situations for air traffic. The spatial analysis is possible to create in which the configuration of the landscape surrounding the airport, the position of the landing airplane, and parameters of irradiation are considered. The results identify locations from where suchattacks are possible. Such results can aid police by increasing their efficiency in intervening against laser attackers.
