Elbit Systems of America has received a contract to deliver its Two Color Laser System (TCLS) for Raytheon’s Multi-Spectral Targeting System, Elbit Systems announced on 3 January.
TCLS is a production component within the electro-optical surveillance system for multiple military airborne platforms, including UAS. With reduced size, weight and power requirements, the system offers a laser beam coded for directing laser-guided munitions and a separate laser beam used for eye-safe laser range finding.
Raanan Horowitz, president and chief executive officer of Elbit Systems of America, said: ‘The TCLS provides increased targeting accuracy and flexibility, minimising the potential for collateral damage. These attributes are key to US warfighters who depend on these systems for a successful mission.’
Work on this contract will be performed in 2019.
The airborne three-domain, the two ground-based and the ¼ ATR OpenVPX-based cross-domain systems were engineered to provide real-time security across multi-domain operations.
DARPA’s Mission-Integrated Network Control (MINC) programme was set up to develop an autonomous tactical network and enable critical data flow in contested environments.
Why space is an essential part of modern military capabilities
Defence-secure mixed reality headsets can save hours, or even weeks, of travel time to fix defunct equipment or get subject experts effectively “on-site” where they are needed.
The Joint Counter Radio-Controlled Improvised Explosive Device Electronic Warfare (JCREW) counter-improvised explosive device (C-IED) and Drone Restricted Access Using Known Electromagnetic Warfare (DRAKE) counter-UAS (CUAS) systems are mounted and dismounted RF jammers.
