Greek company Soukos Robots researches and develops weapons for military missions and civil defense all over the world. The directed energy technology enables the passive detection and targeting of threats that include UAVs (considered as the most growing threat), rockets, helicopters, small and large vessels, etc.

Mini drones represent a new type of threat demanding new solutions. Beyond any conventional weapon systems. They recently disrupted high-profile events flying over protected locations. Highly precise and adjustable laser weapons can provide the needed protection. The energy is aimed to the target by means of an intense beam at the speed of light. The laser beam heats a target at 1,200° in a 20cm diameter. With a range of about 1 km.

Not affected by gravity, HELW (High Energy Laser Weapon) can easily engage and neutralize targets that attempt to attack with high speed and sharp maneuvers. The intensity of the beam can be adapted to the need, ranging from disturbance to destruction, potentially lethal, thus. The laser beam can be activated to « shoot » multiple targets within less than 2 seconds.
