Disambiguation: AN/DAS-4 refers to the Multi-Spectral Targeting System (MTS) Model D designation under the Joint Electronics Type Designation System (JETDS) for U.S. military equipment. Not to be confused with other AN/ designations for different sensor or radar systems.
AN/DAS-4 is the U.S. military designation for Raytheon's Multi-Spectral Targeting System (MTS) Model D, an advanced electro-optical and infrared (EO/IR) sensor package deployed on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) such as the MQ-9 Reaper and Navy MQ-4C Triton maritime patrol aircraft. The system combines high-definition imaging across five spectral bands with laser designation, rangefinding, and targeting capabilities for surveillance, reconnaissance, and precision weapons guidance. Fielded beginning in 2016, the AN/DAS-4 incorporates greater targeting accuracy than previous-generation systems and has accumulated millions of operational flight hours in U.S. military operations worldwide.

O AN/DAS-4 é a designação militar dos EUA para o Sistema de Direcionamento Multiespectral (MTS) Modelo D da Raytheon, um pacote avançado de sensores eletro-óptico e infravermelho (EO/IR) implantado em veículos aéreos não-tripulados (VANTs) como o MQ-9 Reaper e a aeronave de patrulha marítima MQ-4C Triton da Marinha. O sistema combina imagem de alta definição em cinco bandas espectrais com designação a laser, medição de alcance e capacidades de direcionamento para vigilância, reconhecimento e orientação de armas de precisão. Introduzido em 2016, o AN/DAS-4 incorpora maior precisão de direcionamento do que sistemas de gerações anteriores e acumulou milhões de horas de voo operacional em operações militares dos EUA em todo o mundo.
