Is there any way that this kind of anti-l@zer technology can be retro-fitted into the already multi-layered aircraft windshields?
Obviously a very attractive idea if it were practicable, and affordable.
BALPA members will see in the latest edition of its magazine (Oct/Nov 2008) there is an interesting article about the whole subject of l@zer hazards to flights. One paragraph in the article reads :
Technologies are available to mitigate the effects of l@zers, but are cumbersome, do not provide full-spectrum protection, and are unlikely to be installed on airline flight decks in the foreseeable future
So there's your answer for now.
