Tactical High Energy Laser (THEL)

Tactical high Energy Laser The growing list of proliferating threats includes short range rockets, artillery projectiles, ballistic missiles, UAVs, air-to-ground munitions, and cruise missiles. Countering short range and late-detection threats with confidence requires a terminal defense system that is fast, accurate and capable of close-in kills with no collateral damage to friendly assets. It demands the speed-of-light defense of a laser.
