Phantom™
Phantom
Overview
The Phantom is a long-range laser and ultraviolet (UV) stimulator capable of testing aircraft electro-optical sensor suites up to 5 km. Phantom can operate as an independent laser and/or UV stimulator or can be integrated with our other electro-optical and radio frequency range systems (see GTESS and PRTS).
- Long range up to ~5km (3.1 mi)
- Day or night thermal sight aiming
- Handheld, tripod or remote ground tracking mounts
- Long battery life (~100 engagements per charge)
- Designed to stimulate Laser Warning Receivers (LWR) and Ultraviolet (UV) Missile Warning Sensors (MWS)
- Rugged training and test aid that is easy to aim and operate
- Multiple laser wavelengths are available
- Threat scenarios can be a combined laser and UV stimulation or UV and laser separately
- Rechargeable, battery-operated system; delivers precise and reliable functionality
The Phantom provides both a laser threat and a synchronized temporal missile plume signature to stimulate both the aircraft’s laser and missile warning systems. Training aircrew to counter maneuver a Laser Beam Riders (LBR) threat is considered essential to survival and in-air training. The Phantom can be deployed either on a shoulder or tripod mount.

To complement the existing Open Range EW Threat Emitters, Textron Systems Electronic Systems now offers a Laser Threat Emitter that stimulates Laser Warning Receivers (LWR) to train aircrew or to test and evaluate an aircraft’s defense systems against Laser Beam Rider (LBR), Laser Designator (LD), and Laser Ranger Finder (LRF) threats. The Phantom-LL2 has been designed to provide synchronized dual band laser threat signature to stimulate the aircraft’s laser warning systems. Training aircrew to counter maneuver a laser threat is considered essential to survival and in-air training. The Phantom-LL2 can be deployed either on a shoulder or tripod mount.
- An essential training aid for aircrews, teaching counter-maneuvers against laser threats (LBR, LD, and LRF)
- Realistic laser missile threat signatures with capability of synchronized emitters
- Rapid deployment of Phantom threat simulator to maintain aircrew surprise during training exercises
- Provides pre-mission and airborne confidence testing
- Allows crew to train at night, with or without night vision goggles
- Threat library profiles compatible with in-service LWRs
- Test Program Generator software available for programming of threat profiles and remote control of the Phantom
- Power supplied from internal battery or external power supply
- Easily configured in a Mallina™ Suite of multi-spectral equipment to enhance operational effectiveness and provide complete Defense Aids Suite (DAS) training or testing
The Phantom-UL is a long-range laser and ultraviolet (UV) stimulator capable of testing aircraft electro-optical sensor suites up to 5km. Phantom can operate as an independent laser and/or UV stimulator or can be integrated with our other electro-optical and radio frequency range systems (see GTESS and PRTS).
