ASALTT is an opto-mechanical laser equipped with laser diodes, interband cavity lasers, quantum cascade lasers and ultraviolet through long-wave infrared bands.
The modular open structure architecture (MOSA) allows multiple beams to co-align into a single laser output to deactivate enemy threats.
Northrop is under a contract with the US Army’s Information and Intelligence Warfare Directorate (I2WD) Seeker Effects Laboratory to help with the research and development work for the system.
