Lockheed Martin recently delivered an electric 300 kW-class laser, the most powerful laser that Lockheed Martin has produced to date, to the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research & Engineering OUSD (R&E). This high-powered laser is set to integrate with the DOD demonstration efforts including the U.S. Army’s Indirect Fires Protection Capability-High Energy Laser (IFPC-HEL) Demonstrator laser weapon system.
This project leveraged Lockheed Martin’s spectral beam combined high energy laser architecture to the 300 kW-class level as part of the High Energy Laser Scaling Initiative (HELSI) milestone ahead of schedule. The HELSI laser aims to support demonstration efforts with the Army’s IFPC-HEL, which is scheduled for laboratory and field testing later this year.

Lockheed Martin increased the power and efficiency and reduced the weight and volume of continuous-wave high energy lasers which reduces risk for future fielding efforts of high power laser weapon systems,” said Rick Cordaro, vice president, Lockheed Martin Advanced Product Solutions.
