| Project Number | 119 |
| Date of Summary | September 30, 1990 |
| Subject | Helicopter-Borne Laser Ignition of Oil Spills |
| Performing Activity | Physical Sciences Inc. |
| Principal Investigator | Mr. Michael Frish |
| Contracting Agency | Minerals Management Service |
| Estimated Completion | Completed. |
| Description | The objective was to evaluate necessary components for the development of airborne laser ignition of oil spilled on the open ocean. The feasibility of this concept was proven, and engineering studies into laser power requirements and suitability were funded by Environment Canada (EC). This joint Minerals Management Service-EC project will downsize a laser system to make it compatible with a medium sized helicopter. This system will be evaluated with particular emphasis upon laser focusing and aiming. |
| Progress | Completed. |
