Tactical Operations Integrated Laser System

Tactical Operations Integrated Laser System by NMI

The Tactical Operations Integrated Laser System performs many functions. Overall, it is meant as a support asset to the man in the field. T.O. operators love the I.L.S. From its ability to laze a target for smart weapons to listening in on conversations by using the I.L.S. to pick up vibrations on windows from conversations.
The I.L.S. which is typically operated by a dedicated Sniper or a "Situation Observer" consists of 3 main parts. The first is the I.L. (Integrated Laser) itself. This is basically a larger then normal top mount scope that projects the I.L. Power is provided by a small attached battery.
The second part is Computer and Communications rig that can be worn as a backpack or laid to the side as needs dictate. The C&C Rig is powered by a battery cell that can provide up to 24 hours of constant use. The C&C Rig also maintains a satellite phone similar in nature to the old SatCom Radios that the U.S. Navy Seals used.
Finally, there is the T.O. C3 (Command & Communications Center) vehicle.
The I.L.S contains a GPS suite tie in, variable purpose tuned laser, and a dedication 5G broadband communications system (cellular).
Data collected by the I.L.S. is transferred to the nearby T.O. C3 (Command & Communications Center) vehicle where it is quickly analyzed and retransmitted to T.O. team in the field. This same information can be transmitted back to T.O. HQ or anywhere in the world.

Integrated Systems include:

GPS – The GPS is tied into all of the functions of the I.L.S.

Friend or Foe Identifier – All allies within visual sweep range of the I.L.S. will have their locations marked, mapped and pin pointed on the H.U.D.’s of all operators in the area. Friends are marked in green. Foes marked in Red and unknowns are marked in yellow. A verbal or tactile command can provide information such as GPS coordinates, distance, rate of movement, elevation and time to target based on the operator’s current speed.

Laser Targeting System – The L.T.S. has two modes of operating. First, it acts as your typical laser targeting system by placing a laser mark on the intended target. Range is good for up to 8,000’. Bonus to strike is +3 on an aim strike.

The second mode is for the purpose of marking a target (whether it be a person, vehicle or structure) so that smart weaponry can hit a specific spot. Range is good for up to 8,000’ from spotter to target. Range from the “mark” to the weapon system is based on the weapon package being used.

Laser Microphone – By receiving and recording the vibrations of sound as they reflect off of a window or similar surfaces, the user of the I.L.S. can listen in on the conversations of the target he is watching. The recording can be sent to the T.O. C3 (Command & Communications Center) vehicle where the recording can be analyzed.
