ELOP builds laser for U.S. helicopters

Engineers at Electro-Optics Industries - better known as ELOP - of Rehovot, Israel., are building a laser rangefinder designator for the U.S. Army OH-58D Kiowa Warrior scout-attack helicopter under a contract with U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Command at Fort Monmouth, N.J. The laser designator will be incorporated in the mast mounted sight for observing and aiming laser-guided weapons and will replace the existing laser system, with extensive improvements in performance, reliability, and use in training.
