| This numerical designator is based on the numerical sequence in which the United States space surveillance network detects an object. |
| Once the draft regulations are approved, each new regulation will have a final designator in the official journal. |
| Rigid designation requires that the object designated by a rigid designator be the same in all worlds. |
| A rigid designator designates the same object in all possible worlds in which that object exists and never designates anything else. |
| Bar code values can include a designator specifying that the value scanned is designated as a tare value, for example, or an ID4 value. |
| The designator directs a laser beam at the target, the laser seeker picks up the reflected light, and the bomb or missile homes in on the illuminated target. |
