These systems are anticipated to be the most powerful directed energy systems currently in production.
The US Army has selected Lockheed Martin to develop and deliver four 300 kW laser weapon systems, as reported by Sarbaz.kz, citing zona-militar.com.
Under the contract, Lockheed Martin will supply two prototypes of the 300 kW IFPC-HEL system, with the option to install two additional modules. Additionally, a mobile platform-based laser weapon system has been developed for the US military's air defense needs. This system is designed to protect military assets and units from enemy fire, providing 360-degree coverage to safeguard troops and semi-enclosed spaces from projectiles.
IFPC-HEL will be integrated into the US Army's air and missile defense command and control system.
