Laserlith is focused on delivering reliable and high performance communications equipment and advanced sensors to the warfighter. Improved communications will enable the military to reduce the number of friendly fire incidents and rapidly achieve battlefield dominance. Low-power conformal radar sensors will provide a critical sense-and-avoid capability to UAV’s.

The technology under development is a high speed directional antenna that can be electronically steered. Laserlith's ESA is based on ultra-low-loss phase shifter components providing higher power efficiency and requiring a smaller footprint in the overall system.

The Laserlith team is tackling this challenging problem by developing micromachined based antennas that are light-weight and require significantly lower power consumption than conventional electronically steered antenna technology. This technology is particularly timely, as conventional ESAs are too expensive and power hungry for the man-portable systems and UAVs.
