Laser & Smoke Grenade Launcher Control Unit –SGL-3
Laser & Smoke Grenade Launcher Control Unit – SGL-3 is an integrated control solution designed to manage laser warning systems and smoke grenade launchers on military and law enforcement platforms. The system enables automated threat response by detecting laser illumination, calculating incidence angles, and triggering smoke countermeasures to reduce platform vulnerability against laser-guided threats.
Laser & Smoke Grenade Launcher Control Unit –SGL-3
SGL-3 is developed to provide coordinated control of laser warning and smoke grenade systems. By detecting and classifying laser threats, the unit supports rapid defensive action through automated or user-defined smoke deployment, enhancing vehicle survivability against laser-designated and laser-guided weapons.
Where to Use / Deployment
The control unit is suitable for wheeled and tracked military vehicles, armored platforms, and law enforcement vehicles operating in high-threat environments. It can be deployed on land vehicles, marine platforms, and fixed defensive structures where integrated laser warning and smoke countermeasure capability is required.
System Architecture and Control Capability
SGL-3 automatically interfaces with laser warning systems to detect incoming laser threats and calculate their incidence angles. Threat data is transmitted digitally to the operator, enabling situational awareness and decision support.
The system records laser warning events in compliance with NATO STANAG 3733 standards, allowing secure logging and post-event analysis. Based on user-defined parameters, SGL-3 can automatically launch smoke grenades in the appropriate direction to obscure the platform and disrupt laser guidance.
Launcher System Integration
The control unit supports integration with multiple smoke grenade and non-lethal launcher systems, including 37/38–40 mm and 76 mm launchers. These systems are capable of deploying smoke, CS, flash, sound, and other non-lethal payloads for obscuration, crowd control, and area denial.
Launcher configurations can be single, double, or triple bank systems, allowing scalable deployment based on mission requirements. Launchers can be hard-mounted on vehicles, marine vessels, or permanent defensive structures, and may be equipped with optional pan and tilt positioning mechanisms for directional control.
Operational Flexibility
SGL-3 enables precise and rapid deployment of countermeasures across a wide engagement envelope. The system supports both manual and automatic operation modes, allowing operators to adapt response behavior according to threat level, rules of engagement, and operational context.
Functional Role
SGL-3 detects laser threats, calculates their direction, logs warning data, and initiates smoke grenade deployment to counter laser-based targeting. By combining laser warning management with automated smoke launcher control, the system provides an integrated defensive capability that enhances platform protection, reduces exposure to precision-guided threats, and supports operational survivability in contested environments.
