Target Marking for Rotary Wing Aircraft
Rotary aircraft crews require laser technology that can be safely used in training environments and in laser safety restricted air spaces and/or live fire exercises. They need a capability that provides for safe, precise, visual, and non-verbal communication between pilots and crew; between crew and ground support; to mark LZ's; for "squirter control"; for signaling & "target talk on"; to point out obstacles, terrain features, or even aircraft rotors to insure obstacle clearance. We are matching mission and training tasks to the appropriate laser capability & power output. Crews require "eye safe" power outputs; portability, ease of use, economic pricing; either weapons mounted or hand-held by crews, gunners, and pilots; laser use through closed door windows (rubber hood in development - see gallery). Also use as a training laser for JFO & JTAC target marking; to designate potential IED locations - for general training (when higher powered units are too dangerous to employ)
Design Improvements for 2018:
Power Lockout Functionality
Laser Aperture Safety Shutter
The new MARK-1ir & MARK-4ir are easily carried; rugged & reliable; water and impact resistant; extremely effective. Both models include power lock out function; LED "Firing" indicator; mechanical safety shutter for stowage and transport. Battery tube casing now 1" knurled for superior grip and portable, hand held use. Attaches easily to any standard 1" tactical light mount. Optional Rail Mount Kit: Add an optional 1" Offset Mount for 1913 Picatinny rails and 6" remote cable switch for weapons mounting. Quick release lever for easy attachment and release of laser unit. Offset design provides multiple options for rail positioning. Remote cable switch includes power lockout function.
