|
| SPOTTR is designed to allow Joint Terminal Attack Controllers (JTACs) on the ground
near the target area, to detect and decode laser energy from an airborne or ground laser
designating military targets.
The JTAC can verify the correct target is illuminated and "clear hot" ordinance to be
dropped. If the correct target is not illuminated the JTAC can give commands to shift
laser spot to the correct target. SPOTTR greatly increases the assurance that ordinance
will be delivered to the intended target, critical when friendly forces are nearby in a close
air support environment. Combat capability is increased by reducing the time for target
confirmation and talk-ons, thereby speeding up the targeting process and minimizing
targeting errors that can result in fratricide or collateral damage. SPOTTR also serves as
a 12x monocular with night vision capability.
Steering commands projected into the field of view direct the operator to move the
cross hair to the laser spot location. Illuminated dots in each quadrant near the
perimeter and center of the field of view provide these steering commands.
A numeric display indicates the laser’s pulse period and signal strength.
SPOTTR incorporates Gyro-Stabilization, which helps to remove the effects of hand and
vehicle vibration. This allows for clearer and easier target identification at long ranges.
