SAL GEN III

GEN III Semi-Active Laser Seeker

The GEN III Semi-Active Laser (SAL) seeker provides high accuracy laser spot acquisition and tracking capability in a very compact sensor package for precision weapon terminal guidance. It is compatible with multiple guided weapon types, including missiles, bombs, and rockets.

The complexity and dynamics of modern battlefield scenarios place challenging demands on guidance systems for precision attack weapons. The need for highly targeted, selective, and accurate terminal guidance across a broad range of scenarios cannot be achieved by GPS/INS systems alone.

The GEN III SAL seeker delivers unprecedented levels of seeker accuracy to maximize weapon cost-effectiveness under demanding guidance system requirements.

The GEN III SAL product provides a highly integrated complete sensor solution posing a minimal risk of compatibility issues for ease of integration.
