Our Roark Laser is a fully automated High Energy Laser System (HELS) that can neutralize stationary and moving targets at ranges from a few meters to kilometre’s.
Fundamental to the design are the 300 Kilowatt laser and the automated rotator system that takes azimuth, elevation, target and beam power instruction through software link to the Aero-Ark system. In addition, AI and ML techniques are used to make predictive analysis decisions on the future movements of a UAS threat to enable more precise directional output even at greater range.
Connectivity to the Aero-Ark enables deployer’s to “set and forget” with pre-defined targetting rules combined with the secure and weatherproof mounting station.
Deploying the Roark Laser means interceptions can be delivered autonomously with no magazine and minimal collateral damage. The autonomous deployment is powered by the Aero-Ark software which obtains GPS and FSA positioning continuously and deploys back to the control hub in real-time with no lag. In addition, the packet sniffing detection system combined with forward scatter analysis allows for both automated and manual intervention decision making based on multiple factors including the AI identification of a threatening payload and the owner details.
Unlike other HEL systems, Roark Laser can target swarms, even at range. This is achieved through the automated rotator system that can move sequentially through targets based on threat assessment and in real-time. On-board AI and ML can determine the optimum beam strength and deployment rate to neutralise each threat without waiting for interception confirmation. We also continue to place significant revenue in our R&D of automated refraction lenses to enable “one-shot” swarm neutralisation.
Options
The Roark Laser can be deployed as a standalone device connected either directly or wirelessly to an in range Aero-Ark, can be vehicle mounted for portability and has a smaller scale, weapons mounted attachment variant for single user deployments.
