A novel laser detection system developed by Sentinel Photonics has evolved from a promising concept to commercial technology through DASA funding, demonstrating the value of targeted innovation investment.
The breakthrough technology offers:
- Enhanced detection capabilities for hostile laser threats
- Improved response times for defensive systems
- Integration with existing military platforms
- Cost-effective deployment options
This success story highlights how collaboration between DASA, Dstl, and innovative companies can accelerate the development of critical defence technologies from laboratory to operational deployment.
The laser detection system is now being evaluated for integration across multiple defence platforms, with initial trials showing promising results for protecting personnel and equipment from laser-based threats.
