Target Acquisition Laser Capabilities

Abstract

Target Acquisition Capabilities develops modular laser components and representative prototype systems to support target acquisition for pointing, ranging, target hand-off, detection and mitigation of threat sensors. This effort continues to explore non-standard electro-magnetic spectrum waveforms for exploitation in Soldier borne devices. This effort furthers development of a common laser range finding core for fire control and other laser capabilities based on Squad member Table of Organization and Equipment (TOE) position. Modules will be developed with full documentation, including specifications and interface control documents such that they support the Adaptive Soldier Architecture. This effort develops target acquisition capabilities to include, but is not limited to, augmented reality cues within target locators and target handoff capabilities that are less detectable, conducted wirelessly moving towards a covert target handoff, pointing, range finding capability, and technologies that enable self and target location in a GPS contested environment. This effort also includes individual Soldier laser event recording and laser warning devices. This effort enables refinement of pre-shot threat detection systems.
