Joint Effects Targeting Systems (JETS)

Abstract

The Joint Effects Targeting System (JETS) is an Army Joint Information Program. JETS addresses the one-man, hand-held precision targeting gap identified by the Fires Center of Excellence (FCoE). JETS is a light-weight, handheld system that will provide the single dismounted observer 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) is able to interface with existing and future Forward Entry Systems (FESs) and will be able to operate in environments where global positioning system (GPS) capabilities are degraded or denied, and will integrate military-code (M-Code) GPS receivers. This project will develop and integrate improved precision targeting components to reduce size, weight, power, and cost of systems for dismounted precision Fires mission. Funding in this project aligns with the Army's priorities in support of the National Defense Strategy.
