Marking targets in this way also bears a risk for the spotter, as they must remain completely stationary for the entire duration. Some munitions like the the GBU SDB or MARUK anti-tank missiles in ArmA 3 however, are capable of autonomously adjusting their own trajectories regardless of height, though ample clearance should still be given before launch to minimise the chances of accidental collisions. Laser-guided ordnance must be dropped at a sufficient height in order for them to gain enough time to correct their altitude and heading. Note the visible dot at the centre of the crosshairs ( Cold War Assault) If the designator is suddenly switched off before impact for whatever reason, the ordnance will lose track of the target and veer off in a linear direction.įirst person view of a U.S. So long as the aircraft or vehicle has a laser scanner or laser spot tracker (LST) equipped and the laser spot remains active for the entire duration, the munition will automatically home in onto the spot's position by itself. They do this by projecting a laser spot at the pointed location (only visible on infrared) which can then be locked onto by the ordnance's seeker.
Unlike rangefinders which are designed purely for calculating distance, designators are intended to "paint" targets either for laser-guided vehicle/aircraft munitions. Laser designators, alternately known as laser markers, function as both handheld and vehicle-mounted targeting devices. Army FAC marking targets for CAS ( Armed Assault)
