Directed Energy

Our directed energy (DE) design, integration, and test teams develop test instrumentation to evaluate high-energy lasers (HEL), beam control systems, and full system characterization. As a result, we are a leading provider of indoor testing solutions that bring outdoor testing inside to the laboratory environment.

But our capabilities don't stop there. Radiance has also developed test range assets to evaluate high-energy laser beam quality downrange and provide atmospheric measurements that feed into models and predictions. Our multi-discipline team is constantly exploring next-generation technologies for use in future laser weapon systems, including state-of-the-art camera sensors and artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) algorithms for enhanced tracking in normal and degraded visual environments.

With subject matter experts (SMEs) in various fields such as Mechanical Engineering, Optical Engineering and Physics, Software Development and Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Embedded Development, and Firmware Deployment, our team is well-equipped to design, develop, and build a full laser system, including HEL sources, beam control, and a beam director. We provide hardware/software integration, test and evaluation, design verification, system characterization, and system/range safety to ensure that your system is fully optimized for success.
