The firm has the technology to defend against small rockets, artillery shells and mortars, small unmanned aerial vehicles, small attack boats, and lightweight ground vehicles.
Lockheed Martin boasts expertise in the auxiliary technologies needed to field laser weapons systems on military aircraft, ground vehicles, and ships.operate with an efficiency that generates less heat and exists in a smaller package allowing easier incorporation into various defense platforms. Our ALADIN laser has operated in the field for two years with no need for realignment, proving both the lethality and the reliability of our solutions,” said Dr.
A beam control technology that uses mirrors, lenses, and windows to shape and adjust a laser’s energy: For laser devices with output as small as 10 kilowatts or as great as 1 megawatt, the company’s beam control optics and software algorithms fine-tune the energy stream into a focused beam. The energy travels through an optical system of mirrors, lenses, and windows that concentrate it and adjust it for distortions in the atmosphere it will pass through on the way to the target.
“Our beam control technology enables precision equivalent to shooting a beach ball off the top of the Empire State Building from the San Francisco Bay Bridge,” said Paul Shattuck, Director of Directed Energy systems. All this indicates that Lockheed Martin’s research and developments are increasing the performance ofwhile shrinking their size, weight, and power consumption. This includes spectral beam combining, adaptive optics, precision pointing, line-of-sight stabilization, and air-flow control.
