LTM86 Compact Laser Designator (CLD)
The LTM86 CLD, illustrated in figure 2-10, is a
man-portable unit used to obtain a close estimate
of range to a target or to designate a target for
laser guided munitions.
The CLD is a Class 4 laser with a 7-degree field
of view and a range of 5 kilometers when used as a
designator, and 50 meters to 10 kilometers when
used as a rangefinder. It can be powered by either
a lead acid mission battery or a nickel-cadmium
training battery. Safety eyewear must have an
optical density (OD) with a rating of 4.5 at a
wavelength of 1064 nano-meters.
Special Operations Forces Laser Marker
(SOFLAM)
The SOFLAM, illustrated in figure 2-11, is a
compact, lightweight, man-portable unit that is
used to obtain a close estimate of range to a target
or to designate a target for laser-guided
munitions. This unit has provisions for tripod
mounting and remote operation and can directly
accept a night vision sight for 24-hour observation.
The SOFLAM is a Class 4 laser that has a 5.6-
degree field of view and a range of 5 kilometers as
a designator and 200 meters to 10 kilometers as a
rangefinder. It weighs 9.1 pounds and is powered
by a either BA 5590 lithium battery, a BB 590
rechargeable battery, or 28-volt vehicular power.
The safety eyewear must have an OD of 4 at a
wavelength of 1064 nano-meters.
POINTERS/AIMING DEVICES
These devices are used for aimed firing of
hand-carried weapons. They will produce a splash
of light at the point of impact for the weapon’s
projectile.
