Directed Energy Weapons

Textron Defense Systems has been a leader in directed energy weapon (DEW) development for more than 40 years. Our current activities are built upon our unique ThinZag® approach, a rugged, compact and affordable solid state laser configuration that permits scaling to high power levels. Textron Defense Systems’ DEW capabilities include:

  • Participation in the two largest solid state laser programs sponsored by the U.S. government – Joint High Powered Solid State Laser, or J-HPSSL, and High Energy Liquid Laser Area Defense System, or HELLADS
  • Development of the adaptive ThinZag architecture allowing multiple configurations  at various power levels to accommodate a variety of military  missions
  • Additional research and development on advanced hybrid designs, such as hybrid-fiber slab lasers
