Later that year the company secured another $13.1 million for a third prototype.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">HELWS uses directed energy to destroy small unmanned aerial systems. The weapon is capable of defeating a drone within three kilometers by keeping its beam focused on the threat for five consecutive seconds. Operators control the weapon with a game-style controller and a laptop. The Air Force hopes directed-energy weapons like HELWS can help defend its bases from small drone threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Raytheon has delivered three prototypes to the Air Force, with the first deployed overseas for testing in early 2020 and the second deployed later that year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWith thousands of operation hours under its belt, our HELWS system has proven its mettle,\u201d Annabel Flores, vice president of electronic warfare systems at Raytheon Intelligence &amp; Space, said in a March 31 statement. \u201cNow we have the opportunity to build another, more robust laser system for the Air Force\u2019s premier organization and take a key step toward defining an air base air defense program of record.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While HELWS prototypes are attached to off-road vehicles, under the $15.5 million contract the system will be delivered unmounted on pallets for potential use with different platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This latest contract was issued by the Air Force Lifecycle Management Center, which will test HELWS to define requirements for future counter-drone production programs and make a recommendation to a procurement authority. Raytheon will support Air Force field assessments and help train operators.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mounted on the back of a dune buggy, the Raytheon-built High Energy
