Marines Get Lighter, Lethal with Single GPS Targeting System
MARINE CORPS SYSTEMS COMMAND, Va. — Forward observer Marines are now equipped with a lighter Global Positioning System (GPS) targeting system that combines multiple devices into one handheld for accurate fire support, according to a March 21 release from Marine Corps Systems Command.
The Common Laser Range Finder-Integrated Capability, fielded in February, is a lightweight, handheld GPS target location device used by dismounted Marines. The binocular-like system replaces the larger, multi-item legacy, while delivering more accurate distance and location information of targets through built-in laser range technology. With just one device, Marines can relay accurate coordinates for lethal, on-target fire support.
