Laser Warning Control Unit – LWS-2
LWS-2 is designed to control and manage laser warning systems installed on military platforms. By receiving and displaying laser threat data from connected sensors, the control unit supports operator awareness and enables effective system supervision during high-risk missions.
Where to Use / Deployment
The control unit is suitable for wheeled and tracked military vehicles, armored platforms, and security vehicles operating in environments where laser-based threats are present. Its compact structure allows easy installation in vehicle interiors without imposing layout constraints.
System Interface and Control Capabilities
LWS-2 features a touch screen interface that allows users to switch easily between laser warning and smoke grenade system menus when integrated. The digital display presents an on-vehicle schematic, providing a clear and intuitive visualization of detected laser threats and sensor status.
The unit receives and displays laser warning system data including sensor status, detected laser angle, laser class, and wavelength band information. This information is presented in real time to support rapid assessment and decision-making.
System Functions and Diagnostics
The control unit includes a Built-In Test (BIT) function that allows users to verify system readiness prior to operation. Alarm reset, mode switching between operational states, and system configuration are accessible through dedicated buttons and the touch interface.
LWS-2 is capable of controlling up to sixteen smoke grenades when connected to compatible launcher systems and can manage two different types of smoke grenades through the same interface.
Communication and Environmental Characteristics
The unit communicates with other vehicle systems via CAN-BUS, enabling integration into existing electronic architectures. It operates reliably within a temperature range of -32°C to +49°C and is designed with IP67 protection against water and dust ingress.
LWS-2 is manufactured in accordance with IPC-A-610G Class 3 standards, ensuring high reliability for mission-critical electronic assemblies.
Functional Role
LWS-2 provides centralized control and visualization for laser warning systems, enabling operators to monitor laser threats, verify system status, and manage countermeasure interfaces from a single control unit. By combining intuitive user interaction, diagnostic capability, and robust vehicle integration, the system enhances platform safety and operational effectiveness in laser-threat environments.
