PDW demonstrates laser-equipped C100 targeting in the Iron Lance campaign

Key points

• PDW said its 2025 Iron Lance campaign ran laser-designator and launched-effects demonstrations across the U.S. and UK with the Department of War and UK allies.
• The campaign used the C100 with purpose-built laser target designator payloads to support land-air-sea precision strike, achieving 35+ minutes of LTD-equipped flight time across four demonstrations.
• It matters because it positions the C100 as an organic targeting and strike-enablement system rather than only an ISR quadcopter, and points toward future sensor-to-shooter automation.
