A laser designator is a laser light source which is used to designate a target. Laser designators provide targeting for laser-guided bombs , missiles , or precision artillery munitions, such as the Paveway series of bombs, AGM-114 Hellfire , or the M712 Copperhead round, respectively.
The High Energy Laser with Integrated Optical-dazzler and Surveillance (HELIOS) is a Lockheed Martin-developed 300 kilowatt high-energy laser weapon designed to intercept combat drones, fast-attack craft, and missiles. [1] After winning the contract in 2018, the first announced installation was on the USS Preble (DDG-88) in 2019. [2]

The UK says a new anti-missile laser for its aircraft defeated 100% of its targets in a live test. Officials said it faced off against multiple heat-seeking missiles launched simultaneously.
The weapon guides on reflected laser energy: the seeker detects the reflected light ("sparkle") of the designating laser, and actuates the canards to guide the bomb toward the designated point. The original Paveway series, retroactively named Paveway I , gave way in the early 1970s to the improved Paveway II , which had a simplified, more ...
