LEDS-50 MK2: The Intelligent Soft Kill Solution

The document summarizes an intelligent soft kill system called LEDS-50 MK2 that consists of a Laser Warning Segment (LWS) and Effector Control Segment (OSCS). The LWS detects laser threats and provides threat information. The OSCS controls countermeasures like smoke grenades through independent local dispensing controllers. Key features include hemispherical coverage, detecting multiple threats, automatic or manual response options, and integrating with other systems. It can be used on vehicles, watercraft, and other platforms.
