Cueing Designator.

Abstract

The design concept for a laser cueing designator system is described wherein the objective is to arrive at a very low cost laser design which would permit the use of a laser for cueing of targets. The objective is not precise laser designation of tactical targets such as vehicles, but rather the designation of target areas to attacking forces. A laser receiver would provide direction-of-arrival information to the designated target. The final laser design concept resulted in a five pound cueing laser having an estimated unit price of $500 in quantities of 5000; and $1,000 in quantities of 100. (Modified author abstract)
