Facebook X LinkedIn Email
SAN DIEGO, July 7, 2011 — Daylight Defense LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Daylight Solutions Inc., announced that its JammIR laser system successfully defeated heat-seeking missile threats during a test conducted by the US Air Force.

Throughout the test program, the quantum cascade laser (QCL) based system was evaluated against multiple missile threats and over several hundred test events. As witnessed by a broad audience of US government and industry stakeholders, the JammIR laser system consistently defeated these threats in all tests. These results closely follow recent announcements of several successful environmental and flight tests of the company’s JammIR laser product line by the US Navy and other contractors.

With this most recent set of tests, the capabilities of JammIR laser systems have now been validated as protecting both large aircraft and smaller fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft against missile threats such as man-portable air defense systems.

Glossary
quantum cascade laser
A quantum cascade laser (QCL) is a type of semiconductor laser that operates based on the principles of quantum mechanics. It is a versatile and powerful device used for emitting coherent light in the mid-infrared to terahertz range of the electromagnetic spectrum. Quantum cascade lasers were first proposed by Federico Capasso, Jerome Faist, Deborah Sivco, Carlo Sirtori, Albert Hutchinson, and Alfred Cho in 1994. Key features and principles of quantum cascade lasers: Quantum cascade...
