Acoustic coupling is a way information is amplitude modulated onto a laser
carrier.

Morris code?

Not familiar with that.

Translation from Traver to English: morris code = morse code.

And...oddly enough...translating Tarver to English yields exactly
the same results!!!... (he's a very talented lout indeed!)

The smoke and atmospheric interference you describe make the laser
deginator
non-operable.

Only in extreme cases. Humidity, mild dust and other airborne particulates
will degrade the laser's performance but not necessarily block it
completely.

You miss the reason for the laser being there in the first place.

No, a high bit rate of modulated binary data is not going to force the
seeker to loose lock if the seeker algorithm is written to handle it. Or
perhaps the technology is a lot less mature than I imagined it to be.

THANKS to all those who took the time to help with my query.
It was good of you. I have since done some persistent
Googling and find that in addition to the country
mentioned in the thread there are other nations, including
China, which have products to defeat laser targeting of their ground
positions. The US military in turn is aware of all countermeasures
to its laser guided bombs and has contracted research on
improvements which will continue to make it difficult for those
countries with only a basic defensive capabiility to oppose
US policy initiatives. As a lay person I only need basic info
on the subject.

No, they are different. Tarver *invented* Morris Code, back when
he single-handedly (hehe, there's an image for you) designed the
Boeing 777, remember? Tarver's Morris Code consisted of a 3x3
matrix of 'x' and 'o' characters, not the serial stream dots and
dashes of the more common Morse Code.

Morris Code?
Isn't that where you send messages by means of hanky, drum and
tin whistle? Bit of a bitch to work since it required a 10
man detachment in its most elaborate form and was not to be
attempted under fire.
I think they retired the Morris Code MOS after it was demonstrated
to be the leading cause of friendly fire incidents.

Further, the 'x' and 'o' characters on one or more matrices could then be
translated into sounds and spaces:

Acousticly coupled DTMF should work just fine.
