The Marines are replacing the \u201cmini-green\u201d laser <\/a>with an upgraded version of the hail and warning system that integrates laser range finding <\/a>and allows troops to better target individuals with the laser to avoid lethal encounters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The laser<\/a>, known as Glare Recoil and dubbed the LA-22\/U by the Marine Corps, is a dazzling laser that uses \u201claser range finding, near-field detection and a 3-axis gyroscope\u201d as part of its safety controls, according to a B.E. Meyers & Co. news release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those features allow the laser to detect objects or people in the proximity of the beam and then self-adjust the power output to maintain eye safety while still warning the target, according to the release.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
