MBDA Deutschland develops lasers for infantry and UGVs

MBDA Deutschland is developing the Modular Integrated Laser Optic System (MILOS) for the German Army, the company's head of laser solutions, Doris Laarmann, told international journalists including Janes visiting her company on 27 October.

The system was tested during a campaign at the Bundeswehr's Wehrtechnische Dienststelle für Waffen und Munition (WTD) 91 weapon and ammunition technical centre in Meppen in 2022 against door knobs, wire mesh fence, barbed wire, metal plates, and quadcopter unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) at ranges between 25 m and 420 m with a power of up to 3 kW, although up to 10 kW is possible, according to MBDA Deutschland officials.

Laarmann said work was concentrating on a dismounted version of the system, the medium-range 5 kW MILOS-D, which could also be mounted on an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) and which she expected to become operational starting in 2027.
