The aforementioned contract, Joint Laser Weapon System (Joint Laser Weapon System) program.
Within the scope of the program, a new generation defense architecture will be created against cruise missiles and unmanned aerial vehicle systems.
Developed for use against cruise missiles and unmanned aerial systems, the system is designed to be deployed in a short time in different operational areas thanks to its portable container structure that gives land-based elements high mobility.
The high-energy laser in the 500 kW class has the ability to engage at the speed of light and can interfere with consecutive targets at low prevention cost without the need for ammunition consumption.
