\"\"WASHINGTON \u2014 The U.S. Army has awarded a contract each to Northrop Grumman and Raytheon to build a 50-kilowatt-class\u00a0laser weapon for Stryker combat vehicles\u00a0<\/a>for the Short-Range Air Defense (SHORAD) mission, according to an Aug. 1 statement from the service\u2019s\u00a0Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technologies Office<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The two companies will\u00a0build their respective directed-energy weapons<\/a>\u00a0as subcontractors to Kord Technologies. The Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technologies Office, or RCCTO, entered into a $203 million agreement with Kord under the OTA, or other transaction authority, contracting mechanism that is used to rapidly fund the production of prototypes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The contract could increase to $490 million for the delivery of four prototypes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

One of the laser weapon systems developed through the OTA could be integrated onto a platoon of four Stryker vehicles in fiscal 2022. But the Army is leaving competition open to any vendors that did not receive an OTA contract to compete using their own internal research and development dollars.<\/p>\n

\n

The Army is rapidly\u00a0developing and fielding Manuever-SHORAD\u00a0<\/a>vehicles in response\u00a0to an urgent need in Europe<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A year ago, the Army chose Leonardo DRS to integrate a mission equipment package that will include Raytheon\u2019s Stinger vehicle missile launcher onto a Stryker as its M-SHORAD capability. General Dynamics Land Systems \u2014 which produces the Stryker \u2014 will be the platform integrator for the system. The final prototypes will be delivered to the service by the first quarter of FY20.<\/p>\n

\n

The directed-energy M-SHORAD capability will protect brigade combat teams from unmanned aircraft, helicopters, rockets, artillery and mortars.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThe time is now to get directed energy weapons to the battlefield,\u201d Lt. Gen. L. Neil Thurgood, director of hypersonics, directed energy, space and rapid acquisition, said in a statement. \u201cThe Army recognizes the need for directed energy lasers as part of the Army\u2019s modernization plan. This is no longer a research effort or a demonstration effort. It is a strategic combat capability, and we are on the right path to get it in soldiers\u2019 hands.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The award marks progress toward the Army\u2019s new strategy for accelerating and fielding directed-energy weapons.<\/p>\n

\n

The M-SHORAD laser weapon prototypes are part of a technology maturation effort \u2014 the Multi-Mission High Energy Laser.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Army is also building a High Energy Laser Tactical Vehicle Demonstrator. While the laser for the demonstrator will be a 100-kilowatt-class laser on a Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles platform \u2014\u00a0developed by Dynetics and Lockheed Martin\u00a0<\/a>\u2014 the service aims to develop 250- to 300-kilowatt-class directed-energy weapons.<\/p>\n

\n

More powerful laser weapon systems will allow the services to protect against rockets, artillery, mortars and drones \u201cas well as more stressing threats,\u201d according to the release.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Army plans to deliver prototypes of approximately that power onto tactical vehicles for the\u00a0High Energy Laser Indirect Fire Protection Capability<\/a>\u00a0to a platoon by FY24.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cBy teaming with the other services and our industry partners, we will not only save resources, but exponentially increase the power level and get a better system to soldiers faster,\u201d Thurgood said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
