Popis: The Laser Terminal Homing Engagement Simulator (LATHES) was developed for the US Army Operational Test and Evaluation Agency by the Harry Diamond Laboratories (Army Materiel Development and Readiness Command) for use in test and training exercises involving laser terminal homing systems. In the US Army these systems include the Cannon Launched Guided Projectile (CLGP), Helicopter Laser Fire and Forget Missile (HELLFIRE), Ground Laser Locator/Designator (GLLD) , Airborne Target Acquisition and fire control systems (ATAFCS), Light Weight Laser Designator (LWLD), and Airborne Laser Tracker (ALT). The most important feature of LATHES is that it makes it possible to conduct a realistic field simulation of a tactical laser terminal homing engagement without using any components that pose a hazard to the eyes of user or bystander personnel. All LATHES components are eyesafe at zero range.
