FROM bright green lasers that stun potential car-bombers to miniaturized
laser designators that allow unmanned aerial vehicles to direct fire on specific targets and minimize collateral damage, the Army's Research, Development and Engineering Command at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md., is developing new technologies to save Soldiers' lives.

Caption: The Lightweight
Laser Designator Rangefinder is made of a target locator module and a
laser designator module, and can designate a target at a range of 5 km.
Designed to carry up to seven TALONs, the self-contained RRWS incorporates an electro-optical sensor and
laser designator, together weighing about 500 pounds.

LASER DESIGNATOR / ILLUMINATOR W/SCOPE MOUNT
The ND3
Laser Designator creates true night vision, and turns a scoped rifle into a night hunter.
Once the cataloged targets are ready for prosecution, the AV-8B can quickly employ ordnance on those high value targets from sanctuary while the Predator or Reaper supports the PGMs via its on-board
laser designator. This provides the high tempo critical strike desired for an armed reconnaissance or strike coordination armed reconnaissance mission.
The Raptor's "signals intelligence/ communications intelligence" equipment is probably not made up of independent subsystems but is highly integrated with an array of sensors and processors that cannot simply be removed to make way for an infrared (IR) or charged coupled device (CCD) camera seeker and
laser designator. Removing the hardware to generate the required space and rewriting the software to control the device would be a large design-and-test effort--a multimillion-dollar, several-year effort.
The LRAS3 program also produces a specialized system variant known as the Fire Support Sensor System (FS3) featuring a modular
laser designator that is integrated on the LRAS3.
So I said, let's put a
laser designator on the Predator UAV.
The Pantera pod consists of a third-generation, mid-wave, high-resolution, forward-looking, infrared sensor and an eye-safe diode-pumped
laser designator and spot tracker.
