Common Laser Range Finder (CLRF)

Abstract

The Common Laser Range Finder Integrated Capability (CLRF IC) is an association of targeting systems that provide handheld, lightweight, man portable devices supporting the employment of air and surface fires. They provide foot mobile users the ability to locate, identify, mark and designate targets in both day and night conditions for engagement by fire support and weapons platforms. CLRF IC systems support the collection and dissemination of targeting information to maneuver, fire support, and intelligence personnel via external digital devices such as the Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System (AFATDS) and the Target Handoff System (THS) using associated Combat Net Radios. The CLRF IC includes two major components; The CLRF IC Laser Range Finder(LRF) supports the requirement to locate and transmit targeting information while the Next Generation Hand Held Targeting System (NGHTS)combines the capabilities of the LRF with the ability to designate for specific requirements associated with laser guided munitions.
