Target Illumination Laser Source (Pulsed)

Leonardo's 1550 nm laser illuminator product line pairs our high-power, laser diode sources with our advanced beam shaping and conditioning optics. Targeting Illumination Lasers (TIL) are necessary for Directed Energy Systems to facilitate the identification and tracking of potential threats such as rockets, artillery, and missiles (C-RAM) and unmanned aerial systems (C-UAS). Direct diode sources offer size, weight, and performance advantages over competing fiber laser-based solutions.
