Novel tracking laser range finder (T-LRF)

PLX’s Tracking Laser Range Finder (T-LRF) uses PLX’s core Monolithic Optical Structure Technology™ (M.O.S.T), combined with PLX’s Active optics precision technology, to create a compact high-performance tracking solution in a highly integrated system. Once the target is acquired, the T-LRF locks onto the target and feeds real time 3-dimensional bearing information to the host system, enabling further actions against the target. It can do this at long ranges against small, fast moving, hard to track targets such as consumer and military drones. The T-LRF can be fitted onto a Counter-UAS system by replacing the conventional LRF module. A prototype is available to demonstrate the performance of the T-LRF. PLX's solution can provide sub arc second accuracy in the harshest operating conditions, making the Tracking Laser Range Finder a game-changing technology in the security, defense, and combat arena.
