HELMA-P, High Energy Laser for Multiple Applications - Power
SÉCURISER ET SOUTENIR LES OPÉRATIONS MARITIMES EN DÉTECTANT, IDENTIFIANT, POURSUIVANT ET NEUTRALISANT LES MENACES, FIXES OU AGILES
ENJEUX
• Détecter et suivre précisément, de manière autonome, les cibles en mouvement afin d’éblouir les instruments d’observation ou de détruire des micro et mini-drones
• Assurer 100% de destruction de drones à 1000m
• Coupler avec d’autres systèmes de détection et de surveillance (optique, radar, son)
• Définir, aux niveaux civil et militaire, la doctrine d’emploi
INNOVATIONS
• Arme de rupture opérationnelle invisible et silencieuse avec une précision centimétrique à 1000m
• Graduation des effets de l’éblouissement à la destruction
• Discrétion du tir, invisible et inaudible
• Coût d’un tir quasiment nul grâce à une faible consommation énergétique et une logistique minimaliste - pas de munitions
APPLICATIONS
• Protection temporaire ou pérenne de bases navales, sécurisation de franchissement de détroits, neutralisation de moyens adverses volants et flottants
• Déploiements opérationnels, protection de Groupe Aéronaval
SECURING AND SUPPORTING MARITIME OPERATIONS BY DETECTING, IDENTIFYING, TRACKING AND NEUTRALISING FIXED OR AGILE THREATS.
CHALLENGES
• Autonomous detection and precision tracking of moving targets in order to dazzle observation instruments or destroy micro- and mini-drones
• Ensure 100% destruction of drones at 1000 m
• Connectivity with other detection and surveillance systems (optical, radar, sound)
• Define the deployment doctrine at the civilian and military levels
INNOVATIONS
• Invisible and silent operational disruption weapon with centimetre precision at 1000m
• Scalable effect, from dazzling through to destruction
• Stealth firing, invisible and inaudible
• Almost zero firing cost thanks to low energy consumption and minimal logistics – no ammunition
APPLICATIONS
• Temporary or permanent protection for naval bases, secured access to straits, neutralisation of enemy airborne and waterborne assets
• Operational deployments, protection for the Naval Air Group
