Battlefield laser proliferation poses a mounting risk to aircrew and ground personnel. Laser eye protection (LEP) based on current mature, mass-producible technologies absorbs visible light and can impact visual performance and color identification. These visual consequences account for many of the mission incompatibilities associated with LEP. Laboratory experiments and field investigations that examined the effects of LEP on visual performance and mission compatibility are reviewed. Laboratory experiments assessed the ability of subjects to correctly read and identify the color of head-down display symbology and tactical pilotage charts (TPC's) with three prototype LEP visors. Field investigations included Weapons Systems Trainer (WST), ground, and flight tests of the LEP visors. Recommendations for modifying aviation lighting systems to improve LEP compatibility are proposed. Issues concerning flight safety when using LEP during air operation are discussed.
战场激光扩散对空勤人员和地面人员构成了日益严重的风险。基于当前成熟、可大规模生产技术的激光眼防护（LEP）会吸收可见光，并可能影响视觉性能和颜色识别。这些视觉后果是许多与LEP相关的任务不兼容性的原因。本文回顾了研究LEP对视觉性能和任务兼容性影响的实验室实验和实地调查。实验室实验评估了受试者使用三款原型LEP面罩正确读取和识别平视显示器符号和战术领航图（TPC）颜色的能力。实地调查包括LEP面罩的武器系统训练器（WST）测试、地面测试和飞行测试。本文提出了修改航空照明系统以提高LEP兼容性的建议。还讨论了在空中作业期间使用LEP时的飞行安全问题。
