“Our warfighters need this capability and capacity now to effectively counter threats such as unmanned aerial systems and fast attack vessels.”This year, HELIOS will undergo system integration in Moorestown, New Jersey—the home of Aegis Combat System development for 50 years. In addition to being built into the ship’s structure, HELIOS will become an integrated component of the ship’s Aegis combat system.“HELIOS will provide an additional layer of protection for the fleet—deep magazine, low cost per kill, speed of light delivery, and precision response.

The HELIOS system will then be tested at the Wallops Island Navy land-based test site which will significantly reduce program risk before being delivered to a shipyard for integration into an Arleigh Burke destroyer next year. Lockheed Martin’s HELIOS Laser Weapon System Takes Step Toward Ship Integration March 12, 2020 admin March 11, 2020 – Lockheed Martin and the U.S. Navy moved one step closer to integrating a laser weapon system onto an Arleigh Burke destroyer after successfully conducting a Critical Design Review (CDR) for the High Energy Laser with Integrated Optical-dazzler and Surveillance (HELIOS) …

MOORESTOWN, N.J. Lockheed Martin and the U.S. Navy moved one step closer to integrating a laser weapon system onto an Arleigh Burke destroyer after successfully conducting a Critical Design Review (CDR) for the High Energy Laser with Integrated Optical-dazzler and Surveillance (HELIOS) system. It was literally the Whale of the Sky.

We're looking forward to leveraging technology building blocks from internal research and development projects (the 30-kilowatt Advanced Test High Energy Asset, known as ATHENA, and the 30-kilowatt Accelerated Laser Demonstration Initiative, known as ALADIN) and contract experience (the Robust Electric Laser Initiative, known as Increment 1 is the first HELIOS contract awarded as part of the Navy's effort to field the laser weapon aboard a DDG 51 Flight IIA "in the shortest time frame possible,” according to a NAVSEA spokesperson.

By 2020, Lockheed Martin will deliver a high-energy laser that will be installed on a U.S. Navy destroyer Image: Lockheed Martin. The U.S. Navy took an important step forward in putting high-energy laser weapons into the fleet in awarding Bothell, Washington-based Lockheed Martin Aculight Corp. a $150 million contract to build two test systems for the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA). Additional HELIOS systems will accelerate the warfighter learning curve, provide risk reduction for future laser weapon system increments and provide a stronger demand signal to the supply base,” said Brendan Scanlon, HELIOS program director, Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems.Lockheed Martin has more than 40 years of experience developing laser weapon systems.
