Today’s Defense Technology: To Protect With Light
The defense and security market is focused on protecting those who protect us. Its specialized applications include directed infrared countermeasures, explosives detection, combat identification, pre-shot detection, precision targeting/marking, and free-space communications. DRS Daylight Solutions has leveraged its core technologies into modular, open system product architectures that provide rapid fielding of new capabilities in defense technology to stay ahead of the evolving threats to our nation.
Aircraft Survivability
Directional infrared countermeasure systems provide aircraft with essential protection from heat-seeking missiles. Daylight is the world’s leading provider of lightweight, reliable, high-power multi-wavelength laser systems based on quantum cascade laser technology. Our QCL technology has become an industry-leading performance standard for size, weight, and power consumption. Our modular, open architecture designs provide a pathway for simple upgrades to enable the DIRCM system to rapidly adopt new capabilities to address an evolving threat.
Standoff Detection
Detection and identification of explosive materials and residues using non-destructive techniques is a critical capability on today’s battlefield. In addition, densely populated areas, such as airports, seaports, border crossings, and other mass transit stations, all require explosives detection systems. Our mid-infrared technologies, such as the ChemDetect™ Analyzer and the Spero® infrared microscope, provide non-invasive, real-time detection of explosives and residues.
