Boeing’s Laser & Electro-Optical Systems (LEOS) team harnesses more than 40 years of innovation and expertise to deliver cutting-edge, warfighter-tested high energy laser defense with precision and affordability.
Designed for both stand-alone use and mobile configuration, Boeing’s Directed Energy solutions provide scalable and efficient air defense against lower-tier threats in any environment.
Boeing is committed to delivering ready and rapidly-deployable Directed Energy systems today while developing modernized air and missile defense solutions to meet emerging threats and future challenges tomorrow.
Boeing’s Compact Laser Weapon System (CLWS) is a modular, high energy laser system that provides proven air defense capabilities against unmanned aircraft systems.
CLWS' versatile design enables it to be transported and operated by a single warfighter and configured for mobile use on an array of combat vehicles – providing superior flexibility to support readiness in any environment.
Currently deployed in theater with a track record of more than 300 drones defeated in dozens of demonstrations, scenarios and environments – CLWS is combat-ready today.
Boeing’s high-efficiency, low-size, weight and power Tactical Laser Weapon Systems support 50kW to 300kW-class lasers and feature a scalable, adaptable system design to accommodate future upgrades and modernization needs.
These systems can be configured for stationary use or mobile integration on air, land and sea platforms for low-cost engagement of a variety of threats.
Demonstrating the viability of Directed Energy against missile and other long-range threats, Boeing partners with the U.S. Department of Defense to keep allied forces secure. With rapidly changing technology and evolving warfare, Strategic Systems are designed to detect these threats from great distances, identify and discriminate accurately, and engage with lethal precision.
Integrated high-bandwidth, precision acquisition, tracking and pointing system to increase lethality with the minimum laser power.
Integrated modeling and simulation capability from high-level campaign analysis to detailed physics-based analysis for high energy laser weapon mission analysis and propagation, space situational awareness, and passive and active EO/infrared tracking and LADAR applications.
Customer-focused test, evaluation and fielding support for demonstrations and deployment.
Maintenance-friendly design and modular configurations to decrease life-cycle costs while providing flexibility for upgrades.
Wide-ranging optical design, integration and testing experience on multiple Boeing initiatives, including KC-46A Pegasus Tanker Remote Vision System, CST-100 Starliner VESTA multi-sensor docking unit and Standoff Land Attack Missile-Expanded Response seeker.
