A 50kW-class high energy laser integrated on a Stryker has shown that the weapon can defeat 60mm mortar rounds and drones during four weeks of continuous live-fire exercises at White Sands Missile Range.
The laser system is part of the U.S. Army’s Directed Energy Maneuver-Short Range Air Defense (DE M-SHORAD) effort.
The system is provided by Raytheon Intelligence & Space and the integrator is Kord, a wholly-owned subsidiary of KBR.
