Pentagon Selects Four Vendors for Directed Energy Counter-Drone Pilot Program
The Defense Department has chosen four vendors for its directed energy pilot program, aimed at enhancing high-energy laser and high-powered microwave capabilities domestically. This initiative, mandated by the fiscal 2026 National Defense Authorization Act, will be managed by the Army-led Joint Interagency Task Force 401. The selected vendors include AeroVironment with its Palletized HEL system, Epirus with the Leonidas HPM system, Kord with the Firefly HEL system, and Boeing with the Compact Laser Weapon System. Brig. Gen. Matt Ross emphasized that the pilot program will test these technologies in operational settings to improve their integration and sustainability for homeland defense. Looking ahead, JIATF-401 plans to conduct a “shoot off” for the pilot program in December, where effective solutions may be procured immediately. The task force will also assess additional directed energy systems during the demonstration, continuing to adapt to the evolving landscape of military technology and operational needs.
