Abstract

We propose to present our Laser Directed Energy Weapon system HELMA-P and the results of a several weeks C-UAV tests campaign in France. During this campaign we successfully demonstrated capability of detection and neutralization in a few seconds of different kind of drones (different types of rotary wings and fixed wings), at a distance of up to 1Km (Test Facility limited) with different weather conditions. Our small and smart approach allows CILAS to supply a cost effective and flexible C-UAV solution, easy to integrate on different kinds of platforms and minimizing potential risk of collateral damages by using the full potential of a well integrable single fiber Laser source.
