General Atomics is moving forward with the introduction of several new technologies at Sea Air Space 2025, including the new MQ-9B outboard laser system, which was first introduced.
The new onboard laser module, presented in detail at the Sea Air Space exhibition, is positioned as a solution to protect the fleet from unilateral attacking drones. This capability differs from previous efforts by the Ministry of Defense to install lasers on aircraft.
The new laser is part of the General Atomics Laser Weapon Systems portfolio, centered around the scalable High Energy Laser (HEL) Weapon System. The laser belongs to the 25 kW class and can be scaled up to 300 kW in both pulsed and continuous wave systems capable of operating under any conditions.
