The Stormcaster-DX laser target designator can provide precision fires to the lowest tactical level in addition to enabling faster decisions.
Teledyne Flir showcased at the AUSA 2022 exhibition in October, in Washington DC, its newest laser target designator (LTD): the Stormcaster-DX.
The system is a multi-role, low-SWaP solution that can resolve operating constraints and provide precision fires to the lowest tactical level in addition to accelerating the decision-making process. It is also intended to reduce targeting cycles from minutes to seconds as well as training-related costs.
Speaking to Shephard, Steve Pedrotty, director of DoD programmes at Teledyne FLIR, explained that Stormcaster-DX is optimised to designate targets, enable accuracy and limit collateral damage, and the LTD meets NATO standards for resilience
