The synthesis of a compact electro-optical payload suitable for tactical reconnaissance, target spotting and fire control is described. The selection criteria for the electro-optical sensors comprizing an imaging sensor, lens, and laser are discussed and the performance of an actual system is predicted. The predicted performance is compared with the results of flight trials in which an equipment was used to acquire, range and designate ground targets. Finally the experience of using the equipment against ground targets in collaboration with fixed wing aircraft is discussed.
