| DE M-SHORAD |
The US Army has deployed four prototypes of short-range directed energy maneuvering (DE M-SHORAD) air defense systems abroad, marking an important milestone in the development of laser-based air defense capabilities.The deployment, which began in February 2024, is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of the system against a range of aerial threats, including drones, aircraft, as well as rocket, artillery and mortar fire.The DE M-SHORAD system is installed on the Stryker Mortar Carrier Double V-Hull A1 platform and is equipped with a combined spectral beam laser with a power of 50 kilowatts., designed to provide a non-kinetic alternative to traditional missile defense. The system uses lithium-nickel cobalt-aluminum oxide batteries (Li-NCA), which are charged from on-board diesel generators, which ensures continuous operation in combat conditions.
