Hanwha Laser Weapon System – Directed Energy Counter-UAS Solution
The Hanwha Laser Weapon System is a high-energy directed-energy defense solution developed to counter the growing threat posed by small unmanned aerial systems. Designed for modern battlefield and security environments, the system enables rapid, precise, and cost-effective neutralization of drones using concentrated laser energy. By eliminating the need for traditional ammunition, it offers a low cost per engagement while maintaining high accuracy and minimal collateral damage.
The system employs a high-energy laser emitter capable of delivering focused thermal energy to disable or destroy small drones, including multicopters and lightweight UAVs.
Advanced electro-optical tracking and fire-control algorithms support real-time target acquisition and continuous engagement of fast, maneuvering aerial threats.
The laser weapon system can be deployed at fixed sites or integrated onto mobile platforms, enabling flexible protection of bases, convoys, and critical infrastructure.
A lightweight and modular architecture allows scalability in laser output and supports deployment ranging from vehicle-mounted systems to compact tactical units.
High-accuracy laser strikes enable selective hard-kill neutralization, reducing the risk of collateral damage in dense or sensitive environments.
Beyond counter-UAS missions, the system supports additional roles such as explosives neutralization and short-range air defense support.
Hanwha’s Laser Weapon System represents a future-ready approach to aerial threat defense, combining precision, scalability, and adaptability to counter evolving drone technologies.
