USMC Building V-22 Transportable, Mobile Air Defense Laser


The US Marine Corps (USMC) is soon going to increase the laser power for a project meant to provide mobile air defence for ground forces.

Working with the Office of Naval Research (ONR), marines hope to eventually field a Ground-Based Air Defense (GBAD) Directed Energy On-the-Move system that encompasses a vehicle-mounted high-energy laser; mounted command, control, and communications (C3) suite; and mounted volumetric surveillance radar.
