Applied Energetics, an ultrashort pulse laser (USPL) and directed-energy technologies company, has announced the completion of its first outdoor testing event of the company’s next-generation USPL laser subsystem.
“The outdoor test series evaluated laser performance across key metrics including beam quality, atmospheric propagation, target engagement and sensor kill, and stability under environmental stresses such as wind and temperature variation,” said the company in a press release. “Data collected during these events validates the subsystem’s ability to maintain performance while operating in field conditions representative of future military applications.”
“This first outdoor test event is a major step forward for Applied Energetics,” said Chris Donaghey, Chief Executive Officer of Applied Energetics. “Successfully demonstrating the performance of our ultrashort pulse laser subsystem in a relevant environment shows that our technology is maturing and is on a clear path toward fieldable directed-energy solutions. I’m incredibly proud of the Applied Energetics team and the relentless effort that brought us to this important milestone.”
The company will use insights from this event to further refine system design, integrate with advanced beam-director architectures, and prepare for upcoming demonstrations with defence customers.
