Joint Effects Targeting Systems (JETS)

Abstract

The Joint Effects Targeting System (JETS) is an Army program with joint interest (Air Force and Marine Corps). JETS will meet the one-man, hand-held precision targeting gap identified by the Fire Center of Excellence (FCOE). JETS is a light-weight, handheld system that will provide the single dismounted observer and Joint Terminal Attack Controller (JTAC) with a common, enhanced day and night thermal capability to rapidly acquire, accurately locate, positively identify, and precisely designate targets. JETS Target Location and Designation System (TLDS) will be able to interface with existing and future Service Forward Entry Systems (FESs). After initiating JETS TLDS production, this project will address continued development and integration of improved precision targeting components to reduce size, weight, power, and cost of the system, to address operation in environments where GPS is denied, and to integrate M-code GPS receivers when they become available.
