Dismounted Fire Support Laser Targeting Systems
Abstract
This project matures technologies and capabilities which benefit the Lightweight Laser Designator Rangefinder (LLDR, AN/PED-1, AN/PED-1A, and AN/PED-1B), Joint Effects Targeting System (JETS), and other precision targeting systems. These precision targeting and next generation systems are used by dismounted Soldiers to locate, identify, and target enemy assets. This project focuses on reducing weight, improving imaging performance, and increasing targeting accuracy. Targeting accuracy improvements will focus on developing and integrating affordable, non-magnetic, high accuracy, full-time (24/7), and all weather Azimuth and Vertical Angle Measurement (AVAM) devices, with reduced size, weight, and power characteristics into the LLDR system. Long term goals include developing precision targeting capabilities that will operate in a Global Positioning System (GPS) denied environment, and integration of M-Code GPS (next-generation GPS) receivers into LLDR and JETS when available.
