New whitepaper from Teledyne FLIR Defense highlights the role of game-changing laser target designator technology using Group 1 UAS platforms to address capability gaps on the modern battlefield<\/i><\/p>\n

ELKRIDGE, Md.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nIn a new whitepaper, Teledyne FLIR Defense, part of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (NYSE:TDY), explores the critical importance of precision fires to address capability gaps on the battlefield and engage a new generation of enemy threats. The whitepaper also examines game-changing Laser Target Designator (LTD) technology employed by Group 1 small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) that can resolve operating constraints, speed decision-making, and boost the mission success of precision strikes.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe paper, \u2018The Proliferation of Precision Fires<\/a>,\u2019discusses how every warfighter on the battlefield benefits from technology that enables them to call for fires anytime and in any environment. Precision fires rely upon the accurate delivery of precision guided munitions onto targets using a variety of methods. Options include laser or Global Positioning System (GPS) guidance systems as well as inertial navigation units embedded into the munition, any of which help deliver an effect to within several meters of a target, even at extended ranges.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe strategic importance of precision fires continues to be underlined by the ongoing war in Ukraine. Ukrainian Armed Forces have successfully deployed precision fires to destroy Russian positions and materiel while minimizing collateral damage to civilian populations and critical infrastructure.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWarfighters face a new generation of threats on today\u2019s battlefield that require new capabilities to ensure \u2018overmatch\u2019 against near-peer adversaries,\u201d said Dr. JihFen Lei, executive vice president and general manager of Teledyne FLIR Defense. \u201cThe ability to call and direct fires anytime, anywhere is crucial, and our whitepaper explores advanced laser target designator technologies that can enhance the effectiveness of precision fires.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cRecent advancements will enable units operating at the lowest tactical level to quickly setup a small UAS; attach an LTD; and then launch, find, and designate targets for laser-guided munitions from safer, stand-off positions,\u201d Lei added.\n<\/p>\n
