Lockheed Martin's ADAM laser blasts enemy rockets with its HEL beam


Lockheed Martin's ADAM laser blasts enemy rockets with its HEL beam


Enemy rockets go up. ADAM makes’em go down… safely and in a grand explosion of fire. That’s the name of Lockheed Martin’s Area Defense Anti-Munitions system, or badass laser for short (to us, anyway), created to intercept and “negate” airborne rockets and drones. The aerospace company’s been testing its portable, prototype system — built with off-the-shelf parts — since last summer, successfully proving ADAM’s capability in detecting aerial threats at a distance of 5km or more and then obliterating those targets with its finely trained laser, or HEL beam (no, really), once they’re within a 2km range. But why waste time with words when the the company’s own slo-mo video paints a more vivid, shock and awe-some picture. Check it out after the break.
