The system will be tested on a tactical aircraft flying at speeds up to supersonic. AFRL expects to begin flight testing the integrated system by 2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur Northrop Grumman-led team is integrating an innovative beam director with proven beam control technologies to help the Air Force define and successfully demonstrate a laser weapon capability for current and next generation aircraft,\u201d said W. Mark Skinner, vice president, directed energy, Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems.<\/p>\n<p>The beam control system characterizes the flight environment for atmospheric disturbances that could distort the laser beam, acquires and tracks incoming targets, determines an aim point for the laser, then \u201cshapes\u201d and focuses the outgoing beam on the target, added Skinner.<\/p>\n<p>Northrop Grumman is developing the SHiELD beam control system under a segment of the ATD program known as SHiELD Turret Research in Aero Effects, or STRAFE.<\/p>\n<p>AFRL will integrate STRAFE beam control system with a laser source, and power and cooling systems developed for the SHiELD ATD.<\/p>\n<p>Northrop Grumman is a leading global security company providing innovative systems, products and solutions in autonomous systems, cyber, C4ISR, strike, and logistics and modernization to customers worldwide.
