Andor Cameras Help Detect Source of Laser Beam Attacks on Aircraft

Belfast, Northern Ireland, 12th August 2019 – Laser beam strikes on aircraft have long been a concern for aviation authorities across the world. In 2017, the Federal Aviation Administration in the United States received 6,754 individual reports of lasers being purposely aimed at their pilots, and in past week, five aircraft were targeted as they flew in to land at Glasgow Airport in Scotland....
