Gen. L. Neil Thurgood<\/a> said at a Jan. 12 event hosted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The testing will continue through the early part of February, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army learned from extensive soldier feedback of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2018\/02\/13\/us-army-could-get-laser-for-short-range-air-defense-in-under-five-years\/\" target=\"_blank\">the first prototype<\/a> down at White Sands and through virtual simulation, he said. Based on that feedback, the developers have gone back and made some design changes, Thurgood noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army first awarded a contract in mid-2019 to Kord Technologies, a KBR subsidiary, to serve as the prime contractor for the first set of prototypes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kord subsequently awarded subcontracts to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2019\/08\/01\/northrop-and-raytheon-to-compete-to-build-laser-weapon-for-short-range-air-defense\/\" target=\"_blank\">Northrop Grumman and Raytheon Technologies<\/a> to compete to supply the laser module.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The competition was intended to culminate in a shoot-off between those companies\u2019 respective teams. Kord and the Army were slated to then agree on a winner and proceed with integration of the chosen laser module onto three more Strykers to make a platoon\u2019s worth of directed energy-capable SHORAD systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Northrop experienced problems with the power and thermal management system supplied by Kord when integrated with its system, and a fire broke out during testing late last year. Problems persisted into the new year, and Northrop dropped out before the demonstration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Raytheon team moved on to demonstrate its system, and the Army chose to go forward with those prototypes. The company received a $123 million contract to supply the laser weapon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army is expected to reopen the competition because the system is considered critical in future operations against prolific threats like UAS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lockheed Martin announced at the Association of the U.S. Army\u2019s annual conference last October it would <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/digital-show-dailies\/ausa\/2021\/10\/12\/lockheed-plans-to-pitch-air-defense-laser-weapon-in-future-army-competition\/\" target=\"_blank\">compete if the Army moves forward with a new competition<\/a> next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Taking its experience from other laser weapons programs \u2014 including the airborne laser weapon for the Air Force and a 300-kilowatt-class laser under development for the Army\u2019s indirect fires protection capability, or IFPC, as part of a team with Dynetics \u2014 Lockheed is scaling its laser technology into an offering it calls DEIMOS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Dynetics and Lockheed team is slated to deliver an IFPC high-energy laser technology demonstrator in fiscal 2022; four prototypes are due at the end of FY24.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. Army nears initial fielding of a
