Purchase Contract
The FBI has awarded a contract to !%Optra Inc.%!
of Topsfield, Mass., to supply laser event recorders that will be used to fight
the laser dazzle problem faced by pilots worldwide. The ultraprecision measurement
solutions provider originally developed the technology under a US Navy contract.
The recorder can be used in a cockpit to detect a handheld laser pointed in the
direction of an aircraft, enabling a pilot to avoid eye contact while simultaneously
capturing critical information that can be used to locate, apprehend and prosecute
the offender.
