HELLADS laser weapon to undergo field testing

HELLADS laser weapon to experience field testing, another laser from the U.S. Protection Advanced Research Projects Agency is to experience field tests after effectively showing its laser power and shaft quality.

The field testing of the High-Energy Laser Area Defense System, or HELLADS, will start this late spring. The arrangement of tests, subsidized by DARPA and the Air Force Research Laboratory, will be against rockets, mortars, vehicles and surrogate surface-to-air rockets at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico.

The specialized obstacles were overwhelming, yet it is greatly satisfying to have created another kind of strong state laser with exceptional influence and pillar quality for its size," said Rich Bagnell, DARPA program supervisor. "The HELLADS laser is presently prepared to be put under serious scrutiny on the reach against a portion of the hardest strategic dangers our warfighters face."

Taking after the field-testing, DARPA means to make HELLADS accessible to the military administrations for further refinement, testing or move to operational utilization.

DARPA said its HELLADS system has been building up an electrically determined strong state laser at lessened size and weight over lasers of comparative force for strategic utilization.
