High Energy Laser Target Board
High Energy Laser Target Board
BlueHalo’s High Energy Laser (HEL) Target Boards feature an integrated beam-profiling payload for use in conjunction with Group 1 and 2 sUAS to make in-situ laser measurements on a flying, threat-representative target. In addition to effectively characterizing HEL weapon performance, these airborne targets support development of warfighter proficiency with HEL weapons.
