Directed Energy Solutions

Modular, open systems architecture laser

Mission TechnologiesSeaAirLand

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.

HII was awarded the United States first Extended-High Energy Laser (E-HEL) prototype as a MOSA integrator and production/sustainment agent.

Mission Applications

Identify, track, and kinetically defeat adversary assets with a wide variety of mission applications including small to medium size unmanned airborne systems, cruise missiles, and other similar airborne threats.
