Project Objective

The project “Additive Manufacturing of Lightweight Laser Target Designator” (AMLTD) will develop a miniature Laser Target Designator compliant with the stringent payload size requirements of small class UAV without any decrease in their performance. This would allow small- and mini-class UAV to be able to perform target designation activities and extend their range of effectiveness.

GDTech's Contribution

  • Optimal design of laser mounting with multi-physics topology optimization
  • Additive manufacturing process simulation
