Solid-State High-Energy Laser Systems
Northrop Grumman Solid-State High Energy Lasers use solid lasing material and are powered electrically. Solid-State laser technology is advancing rapidly - ideal for air, ground, and naval platform mounting for shorter range tactical missions. View Solid State Lasers Data Sheet.

Under the current phase (Phase 3), the JHPSSL program's goal is for a laser system to reach 100 kW, setting the stage for a variety of force protection and strike missions; wide-area, ground-based defense against rockets, artillery, and mortars; and precision strike missions for airborne platforms.

SkyStrike is a multi-mission airborne precision strike laser weapon system capable of multi-platform integration. The >15kW Skystrike laser system leverages Northrop Grumman's advances in packaged Vesta and fiber lasers, offering enhanced magazine and significantly reduced collateral damaged relative to traditional kinetic energy weapon systems.

Talon is a highly mobile, ground-based, solid state laser system capable of providing U.S. ground forces with a revolutionary multi-role defense like no other against rocket, artillery, mortor (RAM) and other aerial attacks.

Expected to greatly shorten the timeline for lasers to go from the laboratory onto the battlefield, Vesta's critical features are high power, excellent beam quality, and long run time — all packaged into a compact laser device that represents significant reductions in size and in the weight of the laser from previous systems.
