A Laser Designator is a device that emits a focused beam of light, typically in the infrared spectrum, to mark a target for precision-guided munitions. It helps military forces accurately direct weapons to specific locations, enhancing targeting efficiency and reducing collateral damage. These devices are often used in conjunction with systems like laser-guided bombs and drones. By illuminating a target, the laser designator allows these systems to home in on the designated area, ensuring that the munitions hit their intended mark with high accuracy.
