DRS demonstrates new laser designating gimbal
DRS Technologies has successfully performed the first airborne demonstration of its GS205-XRZ laser designating gimbal, the company announced on 21 January.
The GS205-XRZ variant executed multiple laser designation exercises from a US Special Operations Command platform – demonstrating the ability to bring targeting capability to airborne and ground platforms during its maiden flight at the Avon Park Air Force Range in Florida.
At less than six inches in diameter and weighing less than nine pounds, the GS205 is one of the smallest stabilised, light-weight and fully qualified targeting systems on the market.
The GS205 offers targeting capability for all laser-guided weapons. It is now available off-the-shelf for size, weight, and power-constrained platforms.
The GS205-XRZ variant is an extended-range version of the targeting system equipped with a cooled infrared camera with a zoom optic, an electro optical camera, laser pointer, and eye-safe range finder, it is unique in its weight/size class with a full pulse interval modulation / pulse repetition frequency compliant laser designator.
