Interesting Engineering
Keeping high-energy laser weapons operational has long depended on specialized technicians and delicate fiber optic repairs.
The company has shipped the first production units of its Kilowatt Interconnect (kWIC) Disconnect subsystem, a component designed for kilowatt-class directed energy systems.
Faster battlefield repairs Laser amplifiers are among the most critical components inside high-energy laser weapons.
Attalon’s kWIC Disconnect replaces that workflow with a plug-and-play approach.
Attalon produced the subsystem in Bloomfield, Connecticut, while manufacturing the kWIC Disconnect takes place in Traverse City, Michigan.
