The Litening targeting pod is a combat-proven system used on over 26 types of aircraft by 28 air forces globally. It provides superior targeting capabilities through long-range sensors and multiple target tracking of both stationary and dynamic ground and aerial targets. The pod reduces pilot workload while improving target identification and recognition ranges, helping avoid collateral damage with its high resolution sensors.
