Laser Aided Recovery System (LARS) allows for operational range capability up to 100 kilometers and is day/night, all-weather compatible in the most challenging, visually degraded environments. The system is completely RF independent allowing use on LPI/LPD/EMCON missions within GPS-denied environments.
- Day/night and all-weather operation
- 3D precision navigation signals supports multiple aircraft concurrently
- Extremely low SWaP airborne element (~15 in3, <1 lb, ~5W)
- Incorporates motion compensation for moving platforms supporting precision ship-relative navigation in high sea states
- Operational range capability up to 100 km in nominal environmental conditions
- Simplifies and expands UAS operations while reducing operational costs
LARS Reference Station (LRS)
- Eye-safe lasers » On-the-fly reconfigurable
