Laser Arming and Firing Systems
| Hi-Shear Technology Corporation is a leader in research and development of laser ordnance and initiation systems. The Company began its laser research and development in 1988 and has continued to evolve and enhance laser firing units ever since. The U.S. Army has been conducting field tests and program improvements on Company-developed laser firing units since 1993. Success in the Army field tests were the basis for establishment of a Company laser firing system for all ground operations. Laser firing units provide a consistent and precise means for the separation and sequencing of events. They also save costs in areas of logistics support and clean-up since a single firing unit can be used several times without replacement. We are partnered with certain commercial and military organizations to develop laser-based applications for commercial uses. These opportunities put us at the leading edge of laser technology. |
