About Ground A
The GA 1000 packages its laser effector and independent energy modules within a Euro-pallet footprint. Ruggedised power units can be carried by four people, swapped in the field and recharged, supporting operation at remote sites, on vehicles or beside fixed infrastructure.
Radar and electro-optical sensors provide automated acquisition and classification over several kilometres, while the pan-tilt laser is designed to engage after target lock within seconds; a human operator authorises engagement. Ground A completed its initial prototype phase in 2026 and is validating the system while preparing modular production in Germany.
