Laser Beam Redesigned For Rescues FRESNO, Calif.

(AP)-A naval weapons research physicist says laser beams used to guide the so-called smart bombs in Vietnam may soon be used for land and sea rescue A fully automatic system capable of spotting downed aircraft should be developed in about a year, said Dr. Richard S. Hughes of the Naval Weapons Test Center at China Lake in Californias Mojave Desert. The system initially would be installed on Navy search and rescue helicopters, Hughes told an aerospace education course Thursday at Fresno State University. The Department of Transportation and Coast Guard also have been approached, he said.

Laser beams would be used to illuminate dye markers floating on the water in a 4 search for aircraft downed at while a dye-impregnated plastic panel could be used in land searches. The laser beam would cause the dye to glow brightly, said Hughes. However, unlike the narrow beam used to guide bombs, he added, the search-and-rescue laser would be quite divergent and scan a large area through the use of a system of mirrrors.
