Lockheed delivers airborne laser LANCE to Air Force Research Lab
Breaking Defense
Lockheed Martin today revealed that it delivered a compact directed energy weapon to the Air Force Research Lab in February, a key milestone in the service’s effort to equip a tactical fighter jet with a laser capable of shooting down anti-aircraft missiles.
“It is the smallest, lightest, high energy laser of its power class that Lockheed Martin has built to date,” Tyler Griffin, a company executive, told reporters earlier this month in the run up to the Farnborough Air Show.

.DEPS NEWS
It's go time! See you next week in Swindon for the UK/US DE Workshop
DEPS
The DEPS staff and Workshop committee are prepped, ready and enroute to the UK/US DE Workshop, to be held 18 – 22 July in Swindon, UK. Join us for a week full of short courses (Monday & Friday), invited plenary presentations, HEL and RF/HPM technical sessions, exhibits, a welcome reception, and tours to Oxford and the ORC at Southampton University planned.
Please note, we will have early onsite check-in available in the lobby of the Marriott Swindon on Monday July 18 from 0700 - 1700. We encourage you to pick up your badge and additional workshop information then, if at all possible, so you can avoid standing in line Tuesday morning.
Be advised there will still be some delay getting into the Defence Academy during the badge pick-up process.
We look forward to seeing many of you in Swindon!

Hypersonics: Developing and defending against missiles far faster than sound
Space Daily
The challenges of the hypersonic era in military operations are immense. But so are the abilities of innovators who work together to solve them.
That was the message when Wes Kremer, president of Raytheon Missiles and Defense, a Raytheon Technologies business, spoke to investors about how teams are working across the company to solve the myriad science and engineering problems that come with developing and defending against hypersonics, generally defined as weapons that fly at speeds of Mach 5 or greater.

Noisecom noise generators and standalone noise sources can address the critical needs of Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) reduction by driving coherence spreading to minimize retroflected scattering, allowing for high optical power transmission. Coherence spreading using a random noise source reduces each laser module’s sharp waveform (peak power) by modulating the phase of the laser.
