laser target identification/identifier


Explanation:
Z.B. hier, obgleich mir die gefragte Differenzierung nicht relevant scheint. Das Gerät umfaßt die Zuweisung, aber eben auch anderes. Der "identifier" wäre zwar direkter, aber m.E. eher unüblich.

Beleuchter: Laser that is targeted at the suspect object to create a detectable echo on the effector carrier's sensors. This echo is then used to guide effectors towards the target, alternatively to discourage the target from entering the danger zone and becoming an attacker.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks. As an addendum, can you tell me what a Laserbeleuchter is? I suspect it may simply be a "laser source".
