JETS TLDS provides all weather, rapid and accurate target engagements with laser and GPS guided precision munitions

The Joint Effects Targeting System (JETS) Target Location Designation System (TLDS) is an Army-led, Joint-interest program with the Air Force and Marine Corps to develop and field a one-man-portable, hand-held capability to rapidly acquire, precisely locate, and engage targets with precision-guided munitions, and improves the effectiveness of engagement with unguided munitions.

The roughly 5.5-pound JETS system would replace the Lightweight Laser Designator Rangefinder (LLDR) which weighs approximately 35 pounds and is technically a crew-served weapon geared towards static positions. It’s portability allows a forward observer to walk around far and wide with JETS, while LLDR is a two- or three-person system that needs to be set up at a fixed observation point.
