PRODUCT DESCRIPTON
ERDI LASER® LDR20K1 is a lightweight 1064 nm laser target designator and 5 km laser rangefinder designed for UAV turrets, airborne EO/IR gimbals, and compact targeting pods. Delivering ≥20 mJ pulse energy,0.6 mrad beam divergence, it supports single-shot and continuous ranging with ±1 m accuracy and ≥98% acquisition rate. Its precise 20 Hz frequency-coded designation ensures reliable target marking for guided munition systems.
Key Advantage
- Dual-function design: Combines 1064 nm wavelength laser target designation with 5 km precision ranging in a single compact module.
- High-performance targeting: 20 mJ energy, 20 Hz coding frequency, and accurate pulse-code designation supporting guided strike systems.
- Reliable long-range ranging: ±1 m accuracy, ≥98% hit rate, first/last-target logic, and stable performance across temperature extremes.
- Lightweight & integration-ready: ≤290 g with RS-422 digital control, serial-command operation, range gating, and real-time status output.
- Mission-proven durability: Withstands –40 °C to +55 °C, 2 g vibration, 10 g shock, and demanding airborne mission profiles.
- Smart diagnostics: Power-on self-test, periodic self-test, laser pulse count reporting, and automated safety timeouts.
TECHNICAL PARAMETERS

Control Function |
||
|
The laser target indicator can achieve the following control functions through the serial interface. |
1. Respond to the laser ranging command and be able to stop the ranging operation at any time according to the stop command. 2. Output distance data and status information once for each pulse during the ranging process. 3. The ranging function has a range gating feature 4. After starting continuous ranging, if no stop command is received, the ranging will automatically stop after 5 minutes (at a frequency of 1Hz) / 1 minute (at a frequency of 5Hz). 5. It is possible to set the illumination mode and encoding 6. Respond to the laser target indication command, perform target indication according to the set mode, encoding, and target, and be able to stop the target indication at any time according to the stop command. 7. After starting the target indication, if no stop command is received, the target indication will automatically stop after one cycle. 8. Output the distance value and status information once for each pulse during the laser target indication. 9. Conduct power-on self-check and periodic self-check and output status information. 10. Respond to the self-check activation command and output status information. 11. Be able to report the cumulative number of laser pulses. |
