Boeing to build beam control system for laser weapons

Boeing has been awarded a $29.5 million contract by the Office of Naval Research to design and develop a beam control system for laser weapons on U.S. Navy warships.

Boeing will begin to design a prototype High Power Beam Control Subsystem (HP BCSS) that will focus and hold a laser on a moving aimpoint long enough to disable the target.
