A pair of marines scan with M16A4 rifles in Fallujah, Iraq (December 2004); the one in the foreground has an ITL MARS attached via a MIL-STD-1913 "Picatinny rail".. The ITL MARS (multi-purpose aiming reflex sight) is a gun sight that combines two sighting devices, a reflex sight and a laser sight, as well as a backup iron sight.
The APKWS II uses the Distributed Aperture Semi-Active Laser Seeker (DASALS) technology. This system allows a laser seeker to be located in the leading edge of each of the forward control canards, working in unison as if they were a single seeker. This configuration allows existing warheads from the Hydra 70 system to be used without the need ...
The HELIOS system uses a modular power and fiber-optic configuration that can be expanded to fire at between 60 and 120 kW. Besides drone and missile defense, it also performs long range surveillance and sensor dazzling. Its purported advantages are high precision, efficient "cost to kill", and power capacity for multiple shots. [1]
Singaporean soldier aiming a SAR 21 with laser sight. A laser sight is a device attached or integral to a firearm to aid target acquisition. Unlike optical and iron sights where the user looks through the device to aim at the target, laser sights project a beam onto the target, providing a visual reference point.
The system is composed of two parts: the mount which is fixed to the exterior of the vehicle and the control group. The mount is capable of 360° rotation and −20° to +60° elevation and is gyro-stabilized. [1] The sight package includes a daylight video camera, a thermal camera and an eye-safe laser rangefinder.
Sights can be a simple set or system of physical markers that serve as visual references for directly aligning the user's line of sight with the target (such as iron sights on firearms), [3] or optical instruments that provide an optically enhanced—often magnified—target image aligned in the same focus with an aiming point (e.g. telescopic ...
The sight can be adjusted for range and windage by simply tilting or pivoting the holographic grating. [4] To compensate for any change in the laser wavelength due to temperature, the sight employs a holography grating that disperses the laser light by an equal amount but in the opposite direction as the hologram forming the aiming reticle.
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.
