Armor Laser Warning

Armor Laser Warning Collage

Goodrich designs and manufactures Laser Warning Receivers for reconnaissance vehicles, Armored Personnel Carriers and main battle tanks. The warning devices alert vehicle crew members when they have been targeted by Laser-aided fire control systems. Crew members are alerted that an enemy has either completed a firing solution or that a precision-guided munition or beamriding is heading for their vehicle. These systems are REQUIRED to provide sufficient time for rapid vehicle maneuvering and deployment of obscurants to avoid the the fire control solution and therefore survive these kind of engagements.

Goodrich's systems that are currently available for use on armored vehicles and high value targets include: the AN/VVR-1 Laser Warning Receiver System (LWRS); the AN/VVR-2 Laser Detecting Set (LDS), with first production units delivered in 1996 and deployed on on armored vehicles and high value targets; and the AN/VVR-3 LDS. Both the AN/VVR-1 LWRS and the AN/VVR-3 LDS can be used to replace the laser detector belts of the Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System (MILES)/Air-To-Ground Engagement System (AGES) for training.
