Which sensor designation corresponds to AV/AVR-2B as Laser Detecting Set (LDS)?

• A. Laser Detecting Set (LDS)
• B. Forward-Looking Infrared (FLIR)
• C. Radar Warning Receiver (RWR)
• D. Infrared Search and Track (IRST)

Answer: (B)

The Laser Detecting Set on AV/AVR-2B is part of the aircraft’s electro-optical suite used to notice laser illumination aimed at the plane. The sensor designation that best matches this role is Forward-Looking Infrared. FLIR sensors provide infrared imaging and detection capabilities, which can pick up laser energy and reflections in the infrared spectrum, giving the pilot a warning and situational awareness. Radar Warning Receiver is about radar emissions, not lasers, and Infrared Search and Track is a general infrared sensing function for locating and tracking targets, not specifically the laser-detection role. The Laser Detecting Set label itself denotes laser warning functionality, which is most commonly integrated with an FLIR-type infrared sensor in many systems.
