The highly anticipated Halo Laser Defence System (HLDS) has been revealed, showcasing a major advancement in modern defense technology. Designed to neutralize a variety of aerial threats like drones, missiles, and aircraft, HLDS represents the next generation of laser-based weaponry.

At its core, HLDS is a directed-energy weapon (DEW) that uses high-energy lasers to eliminate targets with pinpoint accuracy. Its advanced tracking systems, powered by artificial intelligence, can identify and engage multiple threats simultaneously, ensuring precise and effective defence with minimal collateral damage.

One of HLDS’s standout features is its scalability. Operators can adjust the laser’s intensity based on the target, making it efficient and cost-effective. Unlike traditional defence systems that rely on ammunition, HLDS uses electricity, reducing long-term operational costs. Additionally, its all-weather capability ensures functionality in challenging conditions such as rain, fog, and wind.

The system is expected to play a critical role in protecting military bases, naval vessels, airports, and urban areas from emerging threats. Its ability to counter drone swarms and cruise missiles makes it a game-changer for both military and homeland security applications.

HLDS symbolizes a shift toward energy-based defenses as countries seek alternatives to conventional weapons. By offering a reliable, precise, and cost-efficient solution, this technology is poised to redefine global security and military strategy in the years to come.

HOES Halo Ocean Echo System is an IP hydrophone bringing the expertise and technology into the unique mega-yacht market. Halo has many years experience in underwater acoustics and sonar. Our sonars have been detecting and localising mammals on active vessels. Mammal detection hydrophones have been used in the defense/military industry on warships and submarines for decades to protect marine wildlife from exposure to sonar.

Beyond Mammal detection the HOES Halo Ocean Echo System has a number of potential applications such as:

Machine/engine health monitoring
– Depending on the vessel, the system identifies when components are faulty or are malfunctioning by sensing changes in frequencies and abnormal vibrations.
– Threat Detection.
– Mammal triangulation.
– Mammal species detection.

Ocean playback
– A record and play function saves the audio file as a commonly recognised format for listening back at a later date, or sending to guests & families.
– To immerse guests and passengers, the sound from the system can be played back through external speakers live, as they happen.
