Abstract
The multi-sensor, high accuracy, 4 axes gyro-stabilised turret system (LEOSS-T) designed by LEONARDO SPA - Electronics Division for airborne surveillance applications has been transformed in a 3kW Power Laser Effector substituting one of the sensor with the Optical Head of a 3 kW single mode IPG Fiber Laser. Inside the LEONARDO LASER Facility, we demonstrated that the LEOSS Laser Effector system is able to: detect and track a micro drone; determine and maintain the aim point for the time necessary to obtain the desired effect on the target. Drone Dazzling and shooting-down have been tested. Demonstration setup and results are presented.
