Military laser designator is a laser light source, which is used to designate a target. Laser designators assist armed forces targeting laser-guided bombs, missiles, or precision artillery munitions. When a target is marked by a designator, the beam is invisible and does not shine continuously. Instead, a series of coded pulses of laser light is fired.Â
These signals bounce off the target into the sky, where they are detected by the seeker on the laser-guided munitions, which steers itself towards the center of the reflected signal. It is extremely difficult for anyone to determine if they are being marked, unless people being targeted possess laser detection equipment or can hear aircraft overhead.
COVID-19 scenario analysis:
Growing use of Armed forces of lasers such as target designation and ranging, defensive countermeasures, communications and directed energy weapons is significant driver for Military Laser Designator Market.Â
In addition, military use laser as energy weapon, for defensive countermeasures, disorientation for target, guidance of target, holographic weapon sight and many more ways. All these factor are driver for Military Laser Designator Market.Â
Moreover, the use of unmanned electronic warfare systems such as laser weapon helps in eliminating the risks associated with the pilot or operators lives, and the long endurance time offers relatively greater coverage when compared with conventional manned aerial vehicles. Laser designators have been successfully integrated into large UAVs such as the Global Hawk and the Predator.Â
Furthermore, major military laser designator vendors have shifted their focus toward the development of miniaturized laser designators to reduce the payload so that they can be mounted on small UAVs. Such developments for airborne platforms will drive the growth of Military Laser Designator Market.
Laser designators can work only in clear atmospheric conditions. Cloud cover, rain or smoke can make reliable designation of targets difficult or impossible unless a simulation is accessible through available ground data. This is the major restraining factor impacting the growth of market.
Military Laser Designator Market trends are as follows:
There is growing use of thermal lasers as this is a man-portable device which provides laser designation and also weigh less (2-2.5kg). This combination of portability and energy output is makes these lasers outstanding among all.
Leonardo has lunched the battle proven Type 163 laser target designator which has been designed specifically to meet all of today’s special and conventional force Joint Terminal Attack Controller (JTAC) and JFOs mission requirements for marking and terminally controlling Semi Active Air to Ground weapons accurately onto the target at ranges up to 10km.
Airborne and Space Systems Division has developed a new generation of thermal lasers providing low divergence and >70mJ per pulse. Full NATO STANAG 3733 capability in a very compact, lightweight and low power configuration. In all, establishing a new landmark in size for lasers of this class.
Based on user needs and feedback, Leonardo has focused on a laser which is simple and easy to operate, yet rugged and reliable. This is consistent with our proven capability in laser designator manufacturing for the military.
