France’s MERIO is designing a drone-mounted laser designator system that allows UAVs to identify and mark targets for high-precision attacks, reducing the danger to ground operators.
By using laser illumination, the drones provide exact targeting data to air, land, or sea-based weapons, significantly improving strike precision.
The development highlights a broader trend in modern network-centric warfare, emphasizing collaboration between unmanned reconnaissance and strike systems to increase efficiency and survivability on the battlefield.
