Who Builds It3
No maturity ratings yet for Air Force Research Laboratory, General Atomics, Lockheed Martin
- Air Force Research LaboratoryResearcher · USThe cited institution source explicitly documents this capability.—
- General AtomicsDeveloperPublicly described capabilities; no product-wide maturity or TRL inferred.—
- Lockheed MartinDeveloper · USHELIOS integrates a high-energy laser with an optical dazzler and surveillance capability on a naval combat system. Lockheed describes the laser as a precision, scalable system intended for shipboard defense and counter-UAS missions.—
Placed by each organization's own maturity for this technology; TRL is self-reported or estimated, see confidence.
