Directed Energy
Leonardo Electronics manufactures MIL-rugged laser components and optical systems that form the backbone of DE-HEL systems. Semiconductor laser diodes, high-power fiber amplifiers, and target illumination sources are just a few of the capabilities produced by Leonardo.
DE-HELs
Directed Energy-High Energy Lasers (DE-HELs) provide a cost-effective solution for countering threats like C-RAM and C-UAS using focused electro-optic energy instead of kinetic force. With low engagement costs and unlimited magazine depth, DE-HELs offer key advantages over traditional systems. Leveraging extensive experience in defense technology, Leonardo delivers advanced DE-HEL solutions, including rugged laser sources and precision trackers, ensuring reliable, innovative support for modern warfighters.
High-Power Illumination
Targeting in directed energy applications requires high-power lasers. Our laser diode sources are designed to successfully illuminate a target of interest. Functional in sea, air, and land environments, our laser diode solutions provide the highest precision and performance for any directed energy application.
