The AN/AAS-52 Multi-Spectral Targeting System provides superior detecting, ranging, and tracking for military forces worldwide.

The AN/AAS-52 Multi-Spectral Targeting System (MTS) combines electro-optical (EO), infrared (IR), laser designation, and laser illumination capabilities in a single sensor package. The multi-use system offers long-range surveillance, target acquisition, tracking, rangefinding, and laser designation for the HELLFIRE missile and for all tri-service and NATO laser-guided munitions such as the Paveway Laser Guided Bomb (LGB). Combat proven, the system supports both U.S. and international user missions for rotary-wing, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), and fixed-wing aircraft.

The system offers a number of fully-integrated options to meet the growing needs of a diverse military clientele:

 • Multiple wavelength sensors
 • TV cameras (near-IR and color)
 • Illuminators
 • Eyesafe rangefinders
 • Image fusion
 • Spot trackers
 • Other avionics

To ensure operational reliability, the MTS was designed to meet the environmental testing extremes of MIL-E-5400 and MIL-STD-810. Its advanced electronics and optical design allow for capability and performance enhancements through add-in circuitry. Dependable, flexible and easily supported, the MTS will continue to be the world’s most advanced EO/IR multi-use system.
