FORT WORTH, Texas, Jan. 3,
2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Elbit Systems of America was recently awarded
a contract by Raytheon to deliver the Two Color Laser System (TCLS)
for the Multi-Spectral Targeting System. The contract will be
performed in 2019. TCLS is a production component within the
electro-optical surveillance system for multiple military airborne
platforms, including unmanned aerial vehicles.
"The Two Color Laser System provides increased targeting
accuracy and flexibility, minimizing the potential for collateral
damage. These attributes are key to U.S. warfighters who depend on
these systems for a successful mission," said Raanan Horowitz, president and chief executive
officer of Elbit Systems of America.
Elbit Systems of America has more than a decade of experience
producing diode-pumped laser designators and range finders. TCLS is
the next generation of this technology, with reduced size, weight
and power requirements. The system offers a laser beam coded for
directing laser-guided munitions and a separate laser beam used for
eye-safe laser range finding.
"Our company continues to refine laser designator and range
finder technology, providing more value to our customers and ease
of use to the end-users," said Dr. Amela
Wilson, vice president for Sensor and Fire Control Solutions
at Elbit Systems of America.
