On August 10, Neil Thurgood, director of the U.S. Army's Office of Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technology, revealed that the U.S. Army completed the launch test of the "Directed Energy Maneuverable Short-Range Air Defense System" (DEM-SHORAD) in an exercise that ended in late July, and the system will be used in the "Fusion Program 2021" exercise.
In fiscal year 2022, the U.S. military will deploy a combat platoon equipped with four systems in Europe and integrate it into a company equipped with a "kinetic mobile short-range air defense system." Both systems are mounted on the "Srick" armored vehicle, and the "Directional Energy Maneuverable Short-Range Air Defense System" is equipped with a 50-kilowatt solid-state laser that can shoot down targets such as opponent drones, rockets and mortar shells.
