Pre-Shot Threat Detection (PTD)
Abstract
The PTD is a compact, lightweight, mounted multi-function laser system designed to detect threat Snipers, Forward Observers and Scouts equipped with direct view optics. The PTD functions include laser illumination, optical augmentation and pointing. The PTD capabilities will be developed in two parallel paths to allow for technology insertions when available. PTD (Overt) provides the maneuver element with an initial solution (overt) that improves the Soldier?s capability to conduct pre-shot threat detection, obtain situational awareness, and verification of threat. PTD combines the capability of the Multi-Function Aiming Light and the Green Laser Interdiction System, thereby reducing redundancy and the total load. PTD (Covert) provides the maneuver element with an enhanced solution (covert) that improves the Soldier?s capability to conduct pre-shot threat detection, obtain situational awareness, and verification of threat, while remaining undetected by enemy optics.
