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.
