China-Built Airborne Synchronous Laser Ranger the New L-8 Jet Trainer Aircraft

Abstract

The airborne synchronous laser ranger designed and built by the China Aviation Technology Import Export Corporation Electrooptics Equipment Research Institute passed flight testing and in September of 1987 were evaluated for design model technology in Luoyang in Honan Province. This ranger is mainly used in attack aircraft for air-to-ground ranging. It provides highly accurate target distance and location information for the fire control systems, improving the firing accuracy of airborne weapons systems. It can also be used in bombers and armed helicopters as well as surface vessels and vehicles for fire control system ranging. It can also be used in combination with aerial cartography, terrain avoidance and terrain allowing systems. Keywords: Laser training; Guided missile ranges; Range finding; Antimissile defense systems; Laser application; Chinese translations.
