THEL/ACTD (Advanced Concept Technology Demonstrator) is a ground-based, short-range air defense system that's being developed by TRW for the U.S. Army and the Israel Ministry of Defence (IMoD). Brashear LP played a key role in the THEL/ACTD, producing the pointer/tracker's beam director unit that focuses the high energy laser beam and keeps it accurately pointed at the rocket until it is destroyed. Brashear LP accelerated the development of the beam director to meet the demanding schedule and performance requirements of the THEL/ACTD program. THEL/ACTD will use a high-energy chemical laser to protect civilians, friendly forces and military assets against rocket attacks. It will be used to demonstrate the effectiveness of using high-energy lasers to intercept and defeat short-range terrorist threats such as Katyusha rockets.
