Archimedes
Scalable autonomous laser defense.
Archimedes combines sensing, tracking, and laser engagement in a compact, low-weight system. Demonstrated in U.S. military exercises, it is designed to integrate with existing defense networks and vehicle platforms.
One system, from sensing to effect.
Detection, tracking, and laser engagement run without the need for continuous manual operation. Operator authority and operating boundaries are defined for each mission.
- 01
Detect
Optical sensing and software help distinguish relevant drone threats within the system’s operating envelope.
- 02
Track
Internally developed tracking and control software maintains the target picture and directs the engagement workflow.
- 03
Engage
The laser delivers continuous energy to the weakest exposed area of the selected threat within authorized operating conditions.
- 04
Connect
Modular architecture supports integration with existing defense networks, vehicle platforms, and command environments.
Precision energy. A different cost equation.
An electrically powered laser does not consume a kinetic interceptor with every engagement. That changes the cost structure of counter-drone defense.
Archimedes combines precise targeting with mission-defined operating boundaries. Power, maintenance, training, and support remain part of the full operating cost.
Built to fit the mission.
A modular architecture supports integration with existing defense networks and vehicle platforms. Power, mounting, command interfaces, and operating conditions are tailored to the application.
The American Rheinmetall partnership advances integration with robotic combat vehicles, extending the role of autonomous laser defense in a coordinated counter-drone response.

- Power
- Designed around grid, generator, or battery power. The configuration determines the power arrangement, thermal requirements, and engagement capacity.
- Cost structure
- An electrically powered laser does not consume a kinetic interceptor with every engagement. Acquisition, power, maintenance, training, software, and support belong in the full mission evaluation.
- Configuration and support
- Current hardware and software, mounting, operator involvement, integration scope, delivery, training, maintenance, and updates are defined with the Aurelius team.
- Controlled use
- Target identification, line of sight, engagement authority, environmental conditions, and safety requirements shape the operating plan.
