LANTIRN ER allows aircrews to operate worldwide, in daylight or darkness, at mission altitudes from sea level to 40,000 feet, all with outstanding targeting performance. With LANTIRN ER, reliability has been improved by 50 percent and operation and support costs have been reduced by more than 66 percent. It responds to pilots’ new mission requirements by providing the following:
- Doubled standoff range, high-altitude laser
- Increased detection and identification range
