Laser warning receiver

A laser warning receiver is a type of warning system used as a passive military defence. It detects laser emission from laser guidance systems and laser rangefinders. Then it alerts the crew and can start various countermeasures, like smoke wall, aerosol screen (e.g. Shtora-1), active laser self-defence weapon with Laser dazzler (LSDW, used on Type 99 China main battle tank[1]), laser jammer, etc.
