Laser-guided missiles

Laser-guided missiles are advanced weapons that use lasers to enhance precision targeting. A laser designator, which can be on the ground or in an aircraft, shines a focused beam of light onto the target. The missile is equipped with a sensor that detects this laser light, allowing it to home in on the designated spot. This technology significantly increases accuracy, reducing collateral damage and improving the effectiveness of military strikes. By guiding the missile directly to the target, laser guidance improves the chances of hitting intended objectives while minimizing unintended harm to surrounding areas.
