Abstract

Studies have been made on the development of military science and it has been established that for the modernization of the army and the defense industry it is necessary to develop and search for new innovative technological solutions in the field of laser technology and photonics. According to the trends in the use of laser technologies for military applications, the need to acquire knowledge in the field of “Laser Safety” has also been proven. The report substantiates the need to train cadets and students in a military university. A curriculum on “Laser Safety” is proposed and what knowledge and skills future officers should acquire are indicated.
