US Army ordered Laser Complexes Bluehalo for Destroying Drones: What is known

Antironous systems are planned to be installed on infantry machines so that they protect units from air threats. The US Army ordered laser laser complexes for drones that can be installed on land vehicles. It is reported by its official site. Bluehalo has already received $ 76 million from the management of the US Army (RCCTO) from the management of the US Army (RCCTO) to develop high -energy laser weapons against drones.

The US military wants to use 20 kW complexes to protect the divisions and brigades from the battlefields, installing them on the roofs of infantry machines. The company has many years of experience in the study of the field of directional energy, optical guidance and tracking systems that can be used in the development of a new antitrone complex.

For example, it has already provided the military laser system with Locust weapons, which combines optical, laser equipment and software with artificial intelligence/machine training algorithms. This "smart" weapon can track and determine the goals of different types, then hit with a powerful laser. In 2022, Bluehalo transmitted Locust Rccto for integration into a high -energy laser prototype on a fixed platform.

These weapons have become the first high -energy laser technology that the United States has been launched to combat small UAVs abroad. "Our locust has successfully coped with numerous threats with the help of unmanned aircraft under different conditions, obstacles, range.
