A laser designator is a laser light source which is used to designate a target.
Laser designators work best in clear atmospheric conditions. When a target is marked by a designator, the beam is invisible and does not shine continuously. Meyers for boat crewsCRANE, Ind., 6 July 2016. Its infrared illuminator can light-up targets as far away as three miles and provides a 55-degree field of view.Although Navy officials say they intend only to negotiate with B.E.

Cloud cover, rain or smoke can make reliable designation of targets difficult or impossible unless a simulation is accessible through available ground data. Meyers & Co.

Meyers for 15 of the company's DIAL-100G aiming laser. These signals bounce off the target into the sky, where they are detected by the seeker on the laser-guided munition, which steers itself towards the centre of the reflected signal.
U.S. Navy surface warfare specialists needed laser designators with infrared illumination capability to enable Navy Special Operations boat teams to illuminate targets in low-light conditions. Meyers DIAL-100G (AN/PEQ-11A) is a high-power multi-function aiming laser that combines an infrared pointer and illuminator and visible green laser.The DIAL-100G (SKU: 432P) was designed for the crew-served weapons of Navy special operations boat teams to provide day and night target marking with infrared laser-in-laser technology, B.E. Meyers officials say.These devices help Navy Special Operations sailors operate machine guns and other crew-served weapons in darkness and other low-light conditions.The DIAL-100G provides illumination for infrared night-vision goggles and other infrared sensors, as well as provides a green laser dot to help aim weapons.The DIAL-100G laser target designator and infrared illuminator weighs 13.5 ounces, measures 3.75 by 1.2 by 3 inches, and can illuminate targets with its green laser as far away as 1.5 miles. Laser designators may be mounted on aircraft, ground vehicles, naval vessels, or handheld. Instead, a series of coded pulses of laser light are fired. The value of the upcoming contract has yet to be negotiated.The B.E. Officials of the Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane Division in Crane, Ind., announced their intention Tuesday to negotiate a sole-source contract with B.E. Laser designators provide targeting for laser-guided bombs, missiles, or precision artillery munitions, such as the Paveway series of bombs, AGM-114 Hellfire, or the M712 Copperhead round, respectively.
Unless the people being targeted possess laser detection equipment or can hear aircraft overhead, it is extremely difficult for them to determine if they are being marked. The DIAL-100G laser target designator and infrared illuminator weighs 13.5 ounces, measures 3.75 by 1.2 by 3 inches, and can illuminate targets with its green laser as far away as 1.5 miles. When a target is marked by a designator, the beam is invisible and does not shine continuously.
