Directed Energy Applications

BlueHalo’s suite of Targets and Instrumentation characterizes High Energy Laser (HEL) and High Power Microwave (HPM) weapon system performance in operationally realistic test scenarios at tactically relevant ranges. BlueHalo designs, builds and tests novel sensor arrays that can withstand the direct effects of high energy laser weapon systems. These sensors collect, store, and transmit key performance measures about the beam, then process and present critical weapon performance metrics to ensure warfighter confidence in TTPs. Our team is advancing point measurement approaches to measure optical turbulence and better understand atmospheric propagation. In addition to measuring and characterizing DEW performance, these systems help develop operator proficiency in acquiring, tracking and engaging a reusable target. Representative targets include drones, aircraft, and stationary, mobile, land, and sea missiles.
