the Air Force - Army combined anti-armor submunition's low-cost plan

Laser radar developed by the laboratory, using the operating wavelength of 830nm 30W GaAlAs semiconductor laser, and images obtained from the response shows that the theoretical range resolution of 0.25m. According to sub-munitions guidance program, the Air Force Wright Laboratory has developed two types of submunitions used for laser radar seeker, which uses 24 yuan GaAs semiconductor laser array, the effective distance 200m laser radar, and the use of diode-pumped Nd (YLF lasers, 2km effective range of the laser radar according to the Air Force - Army combined anti-armor submunition's low-cost plan, Wright Laboratory has also developed the use of diode-pumped Nd (YVO4 laser laser radar seeker, and the experiment proved that the self-guided laser radar capability. Allegedly, this seeker is affordability, and is expected to yield 10,000 to $ 12,000 when the cost of production. The laser range of laser pointer  is long enough.
Air Force's "small smart bomb" will use laser radar guidance. Smart bomb is a small surgical precision to put 22.7kg (50 pounds) of high explosives 113.4kg (250 lb) bombs, which damage the accuracy of performance similar to the existing low 900kg (2000 lb) penetrator weapons and less risk of collateral damage. According to the Air Force - Navy joint DASSL program, according to Wright laboratory has the task requires smart small bomb export requirements for laser radar and laser radar seeker of the basic design parameters. ? Lockheed Martin ? Walter's low-cost autonomous attack system, is to attack ground targets small sub-winged guided missiles. The preheating time of laser pointer  should be considered. There is no need to take apart laser pointer
The laser pointer  can not be taken apart by the customer. This Army - Air Force missile joint development of the child, the use of inertial / GPS devices and laser radar seeker based guidance system, by the AGM-130 missiles, AGM-154 missile, MLRS rockets, the Army Tactical missile system and SUU-64 tactical munitions dispenser delivery. Laser radar seeker to search for 370 × 900m range, the formation of the target of three-dimensional images with a resolution of 15cm, to ensure accurate identification of the target.
