Laser Designator Interoperability Trials (US Phase Conducted December 1978)

Abstract

Tests of laser designator interoperability were conducted in December 1978. the Army's AN/PAQ-1 Laser Target Designator, AN/TVQ-2 Ground Laser Locator Designator and the British Laser Target Marker-Ranger were determined to be equally capable of designating targets to 5 km for two airborne receivers, Army's AN/AAS-32 and USAF's Pave Penny. Detection by both receivers occurred in excess of 20 km. (Author)
