Raytheon has been awarded a contract to Elbit Systems of America for the Two Color Laser System, a surveillance system element onboard military aircraft. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed in a news release on Elbit Systems' website, but the U.S. subsidiary of the Israeli company said the contract would be carried out in 2019. The Two Color Laser System serves the Multi-Spectral Targeting System, Elbit Systems said. The system, also known as the TCLS, has smaller size, weight and power requirements than previous variants, Elbit said. It is installed on aircraft that includes unmanned aerial vehicles, commonly referred to as drones, Elbit said. "The Two Color Laser System provides increased targeting accuracy and flexibility, minimizing the potential for collateral damage," Elbit Systems of America president and CEO Raanan Horowitz said. "These attributes are key to U.S. warfighters who depend on these systems for a successful mission."
New type of low-energy nanolaser that shines in all directions Eindhoven, Netherlands (SPX) Dec 19, 2018 Researchers in Eindhoven have developed a new type of low-energy, nanoscale laser that shines in all directions. The key to its omnidirectional light emission is the introduction of something that is usually highly undesirable in nanotechnology: irregularities in the materials. The researchers foresee a vast range of potential applications, but first they hope their fundamental work will inspire others to further improve it and deepen the understanding. The results are published in the journal Physical ... read more
