PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Attalon, a leading provider of advanced defense technologies, today announced it has received a $17.1 million contract modification from the Office of Naval Research under the SONGBOW program. The award supports the continued development of advanced pulsed fiber lasers and high-power directed energy subsystems for future U.S. Navy capabilities.<\/p><\/a><\/a>

\nUnder the award, Attalon will continue developing pulsed fiber lasers for remote sensing and illumination while further maturing a 400-kilowatt-class directed energy subsystem through the integration of a 50-kilowatt laser with a high-performance beam control assembly. The work will be led by Attalon\u2019s Directed Energy & Advanced Lasers team in Beavercreek, Ohio, where the company is advancing scalable laser and beam control technologies.<\/p>

\n\u201cSONGBOW is focused on advancing the technologies that will enable the next generation of directed energy systems,\u201d said Matt Straup, Vice President of Directed Energy & Advanced Lasers at Attalon. \u201cThis work continues to mature critical capabilities\u2014including fiber lasers, beam control and system integration\u2014that are essential to delivering scalable, operational laser systems. We are proud to continue supporting the Office of Naval Research as these technologies move closer to the field.\u201d<\/p>

\nAs the Department of the Navy continues investing in advanced directed energy capabilities, scalable fiber laser architectures and precision beam control technologies are becoming increasingly important to delivering operationally relevant systems. The SONGBOW program advances the foundational technologies required to transition high-energy laser systems from research and development toward future operational use.<\/p>

\nThe ONR award further reinforces Attalon\u2019s position as a leader in directed energy technologies and advanced manufacturing. Across its Directed Energy & Advanced Lasers business, the company is investing in American engineering, manufacturing and innovation by expanding facilities, advancing internal research and development, and growing its technical workforce.<\/p>

\n\u201cInnovation only matters if it reaches the warfighter,\u201d said John Bergeron, Chief Executive Officer of Attalon. \u201cThat is why we continue to invest in our people, our technologies and our manufacturing capabilities here in the United States. This award reflects the Navy\u2019s continued confidence in our team and reinforces our commitment to strengthening America\u2019s defense industrial base while delivering the next generation of directed energy capabilities.\u201d<\/p>

\nThe contract modification builds upon Attalon\u2019s longstanding leadership in directed energy and its role in developing advanced laser architectures, precision optics, beam control technologies and integrated subsystems supporting some of the nation\u2019s most advanced defense programs.<\/p>

\nTogether with continued investments across its U.S. engineering and manufacturing footprint, Attalon is helping build the technical expertise and domestic production capacity needed to advance and field future directed energy capabilities.<\/p>
