The misuse of lasers against aviation is a growing concern, highlighting the need for effective detection methods. Accessing laser emitters in their present form is facile these days, with no stringent regulation over their power. This paper aims to discuss the method of detecting laser beams in open space for source localization. It also investigates the detection of these beams and demonstrates their behaviour, including dispersion influenced by atmospheric conditions, through experimental analysis. The article examines the challenge of targeting an aircraft with a laser and the duration of illumination. Furthermore, the impact of different meteorological conditions on laser beam intensity is explored.
