TACMET II METEOROLOGICAL SENSOR FOR THE US ARMY




US Army HEL MD


Climatronics, Inc.'s TACMET II meteorological sensor is a key element of the US Army's High Energy Laser Mobile Demonstrator.  Boeing’s High Energy Laser Mobile Demonstrator (HEL MD) team has used a solid state laser to destroy mortars and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). A laser destroys targets with pinpoint precision within seconds of acquisition, then acquires the next target and keeps firing.  In recent demonstrations, HEL MD used a 10-kilowatt, high energy laser installed on an Oshkosh tactical military vehicle. The demonstrator is the first mobile, high-energy laser, counter rocket, artillery and mortar (C-RAM) platform to be built and demonstrated by the U.S. Army. Contact dkatz@climatronics.com.
