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
