Overview
Directed Energy Solutions are modular, weapon systems that enable precision targeting, speed-of-light engagement, scalability, and low cost-per-shot and deep magazine for the warfighter. The solution provides detection, identification, and hard-kill defeat of small-size, Group 1 and Group 2 drones, up to mid-size, Group 3, drones such as cruise-missile-like One Way Attack (OWA) drones and achieves low-cost-per-shot hard-kill air defense through means of electricity-powered laser thermal effects instead of kinetic-based ammunition.
