Our Reaper can load LGBs and drop them spot on on the enemy. Watching the bomb fall, it was obvious that the drone also lased the target at some point. The small chin dome was pointing backwards, not towards the target. Now my question is, how does a Reaper lase? Where is the laser located?

From Wikipedia:

 

"To meet combat requirements, the MQ-9 tailors its capabilities using mission kits of various combinations of weapons and sensors payloads. The Raytheon AN/AAS-52 multi-spectral targeting sensor suite includes a color/monochrome daylight TV, infrared, and image-intensified TV with laser rangefinder/target designator to designate targets for laser guided munitions."

 

The designator is the AN/AAS-52 beneath the nose...
