The AN/AAQ-28 Litening is an advanced precision targeting pod operational with a wide variety of aircraft worldwide. Research and development of the Litening was first undertaken by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems' Missiles Division in Israel, with subsequent completion of Litening I for use in the Israeli Air Force (IAF).
Litening significantly increases the combat effectiveness of the aircraft during day, night and under-the-weather conditions in the attack of ground and air targets with a variety of standoff weapons (i.e., laser-guided bombs, conventional bombs and GPS-guided weapons).[citation needed] The thousandth pod was sold in October 2010.
In accordance with the Joint Electronics Type Designation System (JETDS), the “AN/AAQ-28” designation represents the 28th design of an Army-Navy airborne electronic device for infrared special equipment. The JETDS system also now is used to name all Department of Defense and some NATO electronic systems.
NOTE: The pod is purely for aesthetics and is completely non-functional for Arma purposes.
