Abstract

In this article, we present the results of analysis of the mean intensity, intensity fluctuations, and regular and random wandering of the optical beams crossing a shock wave arising at the supersonic flowing the turret in a turbulent atmosphere. It is shown that with increase of the optical turbulence the impact of the shock wave, arising at the supersonic flowing the turret, is so strong that even at the worst turbulent condition the aero optical impact of the shock wave on the optical beam remains predominant.
