Daylight Defense to Develop UV Laser for Army

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Daylight Defense LLC, a Daylight Solutions subsidiary, has been selected by the U.S. Army to develop a high-power UV laser to help protect aircraft in combat.

The decision was made under the U.S. Army Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program, which provides U.S. businesses with less than 500 employees the opportunity to perform R&D for the Army.

The laser will be used for applications such as helicopter lidar, battlefield awareness and trace detection using lidar backscatter.

Daylight Defense has developed several quantum-cascade laser systems for the military.

lidar
Lidar, short for light detection and ranging, is a remote sensing technology that uses laser light to measure distances and generate precise, three-dimensional information about the shape and characteristics of objects and surfaces. Lidar systems typically consist of a laser scanner, a GPS receiver, and an inertial measurement unit (IMU), all integrated into a single system. Here's how lidar works: Laser emission: A laser emits laser pulses, often in the form of rapid and repetitive laser...
