Laser Geospatial Referencing (LGR)*

Abstract

*Previously part of Soldier-borne Sensor Technology. (U) The Laser Geospatial Referencing (LGR) system investigated technologies to allow ground troops to designate targets for engagement by air forces where the pilot or UAV operator can see the designated spots within the field of view of their visible or forward looking infrared system. The LGR concept looked to provide nearly instantaneous target location, identification and designation capabilities to weapon platforms supporting urban or other ground operations. The LGR concept enables these assets to be immediately directed by dismounted soldiers. Data developed in this program transitioned to the U.S. Army and Marine ground forces and U.S. Air Force.
