More Information
Summary:A system (12) for an aircraft (10) includes an optical sensor, at least one aircraft sensor, and a controller (18). The optical sensor is configured to emit a laser outside the aircraft (10), and the at least one aircraft sensor is configured to sense at least one aircraft condition. The controller (18) is configured to determine a first operational state of the aircraft (10) based upon the at least one aircraft condition and determine a second operational state of the aircraft (10) based on the at least one aircraft condition, and operate the optical sensor to emit the laser at a first intensity during the first operational state and a second intensity during the second operational state, wherein the second intensity is greater than the first intensity.
