LASER WEAPON SYSTEMS TURNING UP THE HEAT WITH SPEED-OF- RESPONSE WEAPON SYSTEMS

Lockheed Martin has specialized in laser weapon system development for 40 years, with advancements in areas such as precision pointing and control, line- of-sight stabilization and adaptive optics – essential functions in harnessing and directing the power of a laser beam – and in compact, robust, spectrally beam- combined devices that provide unmatched performance.

Lockheed Martin’s directed energy DE weapons are characterized by: • Output laser power that can be (DE) laser program draws upon our • Very deep magazine rapidly adjusted between low proven expertise across a broad range and maximum power to support • Extremely low cost per engagement of capabilities, as well as our spirit of disrupt, disable, and destroy innovation. Our experience includes: • Speed of light delivery capabilities • The beam-control/fire-control These strengths mean that they are • Highly parallel laser architecture system for a megawatt-class laser well-suited to countering large numbers that supports graceful that destroyed a ballistic in of inexpensive, highly maneuverable degradation by eliminating almost flight threats that might otherwise exhaust all single points of failure the magazines of our current defensive • High-power spectrally beam- kinetic energy (KE) weapons. By using DE combined fiber that provide and KE weapons together, the warfighter the most efficient conversion of will be able to neutralize emerging platform prime power into lethal swarming threats while reserving our power on target most capable kinetic weapons to defend • Unique SWIR component against our adversaries’ largest and capabilities that significantly extend most hardened threats. DE weapon the ISR (intelligence, surveillance, systems support multi-mission scenarios, and reconnaissance) range of the and can be readily augmented by DE laser system communications functions, as well as • Highest system efficiency • Widespread weapons-system and unprecedented intelligence, surveillance demonstrated in any DE laser platform integration experience and reconnaissance range, and precision. system; minimizing size weight across all DoD services and power requirements for DE platforms such as Army and Marine Corps ground vehicles, REVOLUTIONARY TECHNOLOGY Navy DDG and LCS ships, and Laser weapons are a revolutionary SOCOM AC-130 technology because of the advantages • Highest lethality laser to minimize of speed, flexibility, precision and low engagement time cost per engagement that are only possible with lasers. These advantages apply to stand-alone In addition, Lockheed Martin’s directed DE laser systems as well as to weapon energy weapons bring some important systems that combine DE and kinetic and unique advantages to the warfighter: energy capabilities. In these cases, DE • A robust and highly-maintainable operates as a force multiplier, enabling laser architecture that is designed the warfighter to counter a growing to minimize life-cycle cost and to range of emerging threats. maximize up-time LOCKHEED MARTIN IS ADVANCING AND DEMONSTRATING A RANGE OF LASER WEAPON SYSTEM TECHNOLOGIES:
