Northrop Grumman has been awarded a contract to provide their Next Generation Handheld Targeting System (NGHTS) to the U.S. Marine Corps. This compact targeting system not only provides advanced precision targeting, but it’s capable of operating in GPS-denied environments, complete with rapid target acquisition, laser terminal guidance operation as well as laser spot imaging functions using its advanced range finder and designator.
NGHTS consists of three sensors: a color day imager, a low-light imager and a thermal imager for producing images in complete darkness. A high-precision GPS receiver and a celestial compass offer azimuth readings (the angular measurement in a spherical coordinate system) for a target’s heading relative to NGHTS to within fractions of a degree. Weighing in at under 10=pounds, this unit can handle extreme conditions including great temperature variances, vibration, salt-fog and extreme altitude. Most importantly, critical parts for NGHTS can be 3D printed in the field.

NGHTS provides superior observation from even the most environmentally and physically onerous locations. During twilight, one of the most challenging times of day to see targets, the streamlined Graphical User Interface (GUI) provides a sharp and clear image. This improved user experience allows the war-fighter to conduct accurate target location and laser guidance during combat operations no matter the conditions,” said the company.
