["In 2025, nLIGHT is delivering a 50kW-class high-energy laser (HEL) for integration into Stryker combat vehicles as part of the U.S. Army’s Directed Energy Maneuver-Short Range Air Defense (DE M-SHORAD) initiative. This laser weapons system enhances battlefield survivability, providing an efficient and cost-effective countermeasure against drones, rockets, artillery, and airborne threats.","Under the High Energy Laser Scaling Initiative (HELSI), nLIGHT is advancing its coherent beam combined (CBC) architecture to deliver a megawatt-class laser over the next two years. After successful development of a 300kW-class laser in 2023 that exceeded program objectives, nLIGHT won $171 million contract for the second phase of the DoD’s Office of the Under Secretary of Defense, Research & Engineering (OUSD (R&E)) High Energy Laser Scaling Initiative (HELSI). In addition to scaling to 1 MW this laser will develop advanced adaptive optics for atmospheric correction."]
