Under its chin it has the Laser Range Finder and Marked Target Seekers (LRMTS), a laser ranging device to help calculate distances, speed, etc. for the ballistic computer and navigation. If it wants to designate targets for laser guided weapons it needs an external pod like TIALD or LITENING put into a pylon.
