Leonardo Electronics US Inc. is a world leader in high-performance solutions and advanced targeting capabilities for laser designation and precision guidance seekers.
Our laser designators and weapons seekers are designed to deliver precision targeting for electro-optical and laser-guided weapons systems. These capabilities are critical in increasing first attack hit probability, and avoiding fratricide or collateral damage risks in the field. Our laser seekers provide low beam divergence and high energy outputs for airborne and man-portable applications. Our designator and seeker systems meet low size and weight requirements while delivering a powerful solution that increases mission confidence.
The Type 158 laser provides designation, ranging and illumination for airborne platforms. Configured in a two-box format to ease integration, this highly capable dual wavelength laser is designed to support gated Burst Illumination LADAR (BIL) sensor systems.
The Type 163 laser target designator is a lightweight, man-portable laser designed to provide laser designation for semi-active laser guided weapons and laser range finding up to 10 kilometers.
Leonardo is a world leading independent provider of electro-optic seekers to missile manufacturers. We developed the first European electro-optic missile seeker in the 1970s for the Martel missile and have a long and successful history of providing innovative seeker capabilities to missile customers worldwide.
Innovative product line: We invest heavily in the research and development of laser technology, including laser designators and precision guidance seekers, with a mission to bring our customers the most advanced sensor technologies.
Advanced design and manufacturing techniques: Our laser designators incorporate the latest laser technologies, particularly in the area of laser diode pumping, Nd:YAG slabs, optical parametric oscillators and high efficiency heat exchangers.
Versatile utilization: Our compact, low-weight laser designator rangefinders are available in standalone models and as systems that can be integrated into a variety of airborne platforms.
Proven success: We have decades of expertise developing next-gen, battle-proven sensor technologies that defend against emerging threats.
