DESCRIPTION AND DATA
2.1. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The LAD is a weapon aiming system that uses a laser to indicate the point
of impact. The equipment is available in five functionally different versions,
which are presented in Table 1-1 of this manual.
The LAD uses continuous diode lasers, which produce both visible and in-
visible radiation; both are potentially hazardous to your eyes. You will find
the laser safety classification of your device on the warning label(s) near the
laser emission aperture(s).
The laser(s) and boresight adjustment mechanisms are mounted in a light-
weight but durable, high-impact plastic body.
The LAD mount system is designed to fit any Picatinny MIL-STD-1913 or
Weaver weapon rail. Manufactured from aluminum alloy, it is lightweight
and robust. An adjustable lever-cam clamping device ensures quick, easy,
and reliable mounting and disassembly.
Figure 2-1a shows a single-channel LAD (Drakos).
Figure 2-1b shows a two-channel LAD with an IR LED illuminator (Drakos-I).
Figure 2-1c shows the LAD with two aiming channels (Drakos-II).
These figures indicate the design differences that exist between the vari-
ous LADs. To learn which individual features these devices share, see Figure
2-1d.
The ITEM NO. column in Table 2-1 indicates the number used to identify
items in Figures 2-1 (a-d).
