PRECISION GUIDED WEAPONS AND SIDE-EFFECT RISK LTC Dipl. Eng. Ivo PIKNER from the effect of a 60-kilogram warhead guided missile. That is a reason of why mini- Laser guided munition is more precise when compared to JDAM, however sensi- MISSILE AND LASER WARNING SYSTEM, AN/AAR-47(V)2 The AN/AAR-47, originally fielded in the late 1980s, provides passive warning against infrared and laser guided missiles fired at its host platform. In addition to providing warning to the aircrew, it cues an onboard expendables dispenser to eject countermeasures flares to defeat the incoming missile.

(Infographic) marking it so that a guided weapon such as a missile can find and destroy it. Laser designators are mounted on planes or tanks, and can be small enough laser guided missile - its works on similar principle as of the laser bombs but however in this case the aircraft launch missiles from much larger distances from main target - laser guided missile uses a laser of a specific frequency bandwidth to locate the target. The laser creates a heat signature on the target.
