An alternative and less costly aiming system is already with us. This is the laser pointing sight which acts as a thin "searchlight" beam indicating the point of aim(the beam may be either visible to the naked eye or invisible and requiring some form of vision device).  1, record 1, English, - searchlight%20beam

[Le système de conduite de tir] s'agit du laser de visée qui se comporte comme une lampe-torche à faisceau très fin servant à marquer le point visé (le faisceau est visible soit à l'œil nu, soit seulement à l'aide d'un système de vision spécial).  1, record 1, French, - lampe%2Dtorche%20%C3%A0%20faisceau

Optical Head(OH). The OH is typically located outside the spacecraft and performs the critical functions of generating and pointing the transmit laser beam and acquiring and tracking the received beacon and receive laser beams. Major elements of the OH are :-Coarse pointing assembly used for steering the terminal line of sight.-Optical subsystem comprising telescope, optical bench and beacon collimator.-Fine pointing assembly(FPA) : This is a mechanism used in conjunction with the tracking sensor to provide the tracking function for the terminal.-Point ahead assembly(PAA) : This is similar to the FPA and is used to introduce the required point ahead offset to the transmit beam.-Acquisition sensor(AS) : This is a wide field of view sensor used during acquisition for the identification and location of the partner terminal.-Tracking sensor(TS) : This is a fast sensor that operates in a closed loop with the FPA.  2, record 3, English, - point%2Dahead%20assembly

In the above image I have gone to A2G mode, reflected by the change in the right MFD with ground radar now on. The Advanced Targetting FLIR has now been selected in the Up Front Controller. The A/GATFLIR consists of four pointing modes in addition to an Autotrack mode. The target designation laser is also part of the ATFLIR pod, and is always slaved to the current FLIR image.  2, record 4, English, - pod%20ATFLIR
