The High Energy Liquid Laser Area Defense System (HELLADS), is a counter-RAM system under development that will use a powerful (150 kW) laser to shoot down rockets, missiles, artillery and mortar shells. The initial system will be demonstrated from a static ground-based installation, but in order to eventually be integrated on an aircraft, the ...
The Laser Weapon System (LaWS) aboard USS Ponce. The AN/SEQ-3 Laser Weapon System or XN-1 LaWS[1] is a laser weapon developed by the United States Navy. The weapon was installed on USS Ponce for field testing in 2014. In December 2014, the United States Navy reported that the LaWS system worked perfectly against low-end asymmetric threats, and ...
An Iron Beam battery is composed of an air defense radar, a command and control (C2) unit, and two HEL (high-energy laser) systems. It was intended to be mobile [21] and to be able to be used standalone, [7] but was later rendered non-mobile to address weight and power availability concerns and integrated into Iron Dome to reduce complexity. [22]
Lockheed Martin Corp (NYSE: LMT) is partnering with Israel's Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd to develop high-energy laser weapon systems. The weapon system will be based on a technology ...
U.S. weapons maker Lockheed Martin and Israeli contractor Rafael have teamed up to create a high-energy laser weapon system, based on a technology already under development in Israel that could be ...
The multiple integrated laser engagement system, or MILES, is used by the U.S. military and other armed forces around the world for training purposes. It uses lasers and blank cartridges to simulate actual battle. Individual soldiers carry small laser sensors scattered over their bodies, which detect when the soldier has been illuminated by a ...
The High Energy Laser with Integrated Optical-dazzler and Surveillance (HELIOS) is a 60 kW+ high energy laser designed to intercept aerial threats such as drones, missiles, and other airborne targets and even small boats. It was designed and manufactured by Lockheed Martin, which was awarded a contract to design such a weapon in January 2018.
In the United States, Lockheed Martin demonstrated the capabilities of its ATHENA laser system in 2017, which uses a 30-kilowatt ALADIN laser to target and destroy UAVs. [19] Another American company, Raytheon, developed the High-Energy Laser Weapon System (HELWS) in 2019, which is capable of detecting and destroying drones at a distance of up ...
