2. Laser weapon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_weapon

   The US-Israeli Tactical High Energy Laser (THEL) was used to shoot down rockets and artillery shells before being canceled in 2005 as a result of "its bulkiness, high costs and poor anticipated results on the battlefield". [1] A laser weapon [2] is a type of directed-energy weapon that uses lasers to inflict damage. Whether they will be ...

3. Directed-energy weapon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directed-energy_weapon

   Panel discussions on the role of high-power lasers in SDI took place at various laser conferences, during the 1980s, with the participation of noted physicists including Edward Teller. [ 83 ] [ 84 ] A notable example of a directed energy system which came out of the SDI program is the Neutral Particle Beam Accelerator developed by Los Alamos ...

4. Laser safety - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_safety

   Many lasers are high voltage devices, typically 400 V upward for a small 5 mJ pulsed laser, and exceeding many kilovolts in higher powered lasers. This, coupled with high pressure water for cooling the laser and other associated electrical equipment, can create a greater hazard than the laser beam itself.

   The High Energy Laser with Integrated Optical-dazzler and Surveillance (HELIOS) is a Lockheed Martin-developed 300 kilowatt high-energy laser weapon designed to intercept combat drones, fast-attack craft, and missiles. [1] After winning the contract in 2018, the first announced installation was on the USS Preble (DDG-88) in 2019. [2]

6. THOR (weapon) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/THOR_(weapon)

   This is effective at intercepting drone swarms; while a laser needs time to burn through one at a time, an HPM can fire in an arc to disable multiple at once and refire in rapid succession. Compared to hard-kill methods for engaging drones, THOR's radio bursts have a wider engagement range, are silent, and are instantaneous.

7. High Energy Liquid Laser Area Defense System - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Energy_Liquid_Laser...

   The company has displayed the laser as a Tactical Laser Weapon Module which includes high-power-density lithium-ion batteries, liquid cooling, one or more laser unit cells, and optics to clean up and stabilize the beam before it enters the beam-director telescope; a unit cell produces a 75 kW beam, and modules can be combined to create beams of ...

   Through these channels, Ionatron's blaster sent man-made lightning bolts. Thor IED Zappers: The vehicular system is mounted on a remotely controlled weapon station, carrying the laser beam director and high-energy laser and coaxial 12.7 mm machine gun to neutralize improvised explosive devices from a safe, standoff distance.

9. DragonFire (weapon) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragonfire_(weapon)

   DragonFire is a British laser directed-energy weapon (LDEW). It was first unveiled to the public as a technology demonstrator in 2017 at the Defence and Security Equipment International (DSEI) conference in London and is being developed by UK DragonFire, a collaboration consisting of MBDA UK, Leonardo UK, QinetiQ and the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (dstl).
