Provided is a gyroscope stabilized gimbal assembly for collecting and timestamping video data and laser measurement data. The assembly can be used on multiple platforms and provides an ISR video camera system and one or more laser measurement devices, including photodetectors, thermopiles, filters, and analog to digital converters. The components are mounted to a bracket that can be installed and removed from the assembly to collect/record measurement data from the devices interacting with the laser beam. A processor collects and records measurement data from the devices interacting with the laser beam and calculates optical power data, irradiance data, and wavelength data. A storage device stores a first set of data comprising video data from said camera system and a second set of data comprising optical power data, irradiance data, and wavelength data, wherein said first and second set of data are timestamped, separated, and not comingled.

Various embodiments can include artificial learning counter surveillance (ALCS) or self-protection surveillance systems (SPSS) and related methods. Apparatuses and methods can include non-destructive electro-optic interference or protection systems as well non-destructive directed energy systems, a control system, and an analysis system for determining an optical system of interest and generating degradation or disruption effects using various equipment items and machine learning systems. Additionally, methods are also provided for determining degree of severity of degradation or disruption based on threshold definitions related to ability to use the optical system of interest for one or more specified applications.

Systems and related methods employing directed energy and machine learning operable for enabling or protecting from non-destructive degradation or disruption of electro-optic(s) or sensors
