Dismounted Fire Support Laser Targeting Systems
Abstract
This project matures and integrates technologies and capabilities which benefit the Joint Effects Targeting System (JETS), Lightweight Laser Designator Rangefinder (LLDR) and other Dismounted Precision Targeting capabilities 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 size, weight, power and cost, 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 Precision Azimuth and Vertical Angle Measurement (PAVAM) devices, with reduced size, weight, and power characteristics into the JETS, LLDR and other Dismounted Precision Targeting capabilities systems. Long term goals include improving current celestial navigation systems to increase operational availability, developing precision targeting capabilities that will operate in a Global Positioning System (GPS) contested environment to improve situational awareness, and to integrate Military Global Positioning System (GPS) User Equipment (M-Code) (next-generation GPS) receivers into JETS, LLDR and other Dismounted Precision Targeting capabilities systems , when available. Funding in this project aligns with the Army's priorities in support of the National Defense Strategy. Due to a shift in Army priorities the LLDR 3 program was terminated.
