LANTIRN (Low Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infrared for Night) is a technology system used on military fighter jets. It combines advanced radar and infrared sensors to help pilots navigate and identify targets accurately, even in poor visibility conditions like at night or in bad weather. The system allows jets to fly low and close to the ground safely, while precisely locating and targeting enemy positions or weapons. Overall, LANTIRN enhances combat effectiveness by providing detailed real-time information, enabling pilots to perform covert and precise operations.
