So, it seems this is the most appropiate forum section for this question...
Can anyone give a simple explanation of the parts that make a laser designating system and how a typical unit works. Also, once a coordinate is established, how does this information get communicated to other systems. (Is it, for example, used with gps and shared via a network of some sort?) What information is shared and how are the coordinates/positioning established.
Example: battlefield lasing where a ground force establishes a coordinate using a laser designator which is relayed to aircraft.
I apologize if this is a little vague but my background is in aerospace and I don't have too much knowledge in optics and networking.
Any recommended texts or sources are appreciated as well.
