Basic Information
Name
AN/PED-1 American Lightweight Laser Designator Rangefinder (LLDR)
Designation
AN/PED-1
Alternate Designation
AN/PED-1
Equipment Type
Lightweight Laser Designator Rangefinder (LLDR)
Manufacturer
Northrop Grumman
Date of Introduction
2004
Description
The Lightweight Laser Designator Rangefinder AN/PED-1 provides a unique capability to Forward Observers, Forward Air Controllers and Naval Gunfire Spot Teams. The system can recognize targets in day/night/obscurant conditions, range to the target at an eye safe wavelength, and calculate grid coordinates with its own GPS/Elevation/Azimuth capability. The system then provides this information to other members of the Digital Battlefield. Also included is a NATO coded laser designator for use with Semi-Active Laser Guided Missiles and Laser Spot Trackers.

Variants
AN/PED-1A LLDR 2
A reduced weight version that uses the AN/PSD-1A TLM II and the AN/PEQ-9A diode compact laser designator module
AN/PED-1B LLDR 2H
Uses the AN/PSD-1B TLM IIH (with celestial navigation integrated with the digital magnetic compass) and the AN/PEQ-9A diode laser designator module
AN/PED-1 LLDR 3
A development on the previous LLDR versions that adds precision azimuth vertical angle module technology, which enables improved 24/7 all-weather precision targeting capability.
