Area Defense Anti-Munitions (ADAM) is an experimental short range ground-to-air anti-missile weapons system being developed by Lockheed Martin. It uses a 10 kW fiber laser to attack its targets. [1] [2]
MILES systems used a laser module which was mounted to the barrel of a real weapon, a blank-firing adaptor for the weapon, and an integrated receiver consisting of sensors on the helmet and load-bearing vests of the soldiers. When a blank shot was fired by a weapon, it caused the laser to fire a coded burst in the direction that the weapon was ...
