TALOS CONSORTIUM, LED BY CILAS, WILL PAVE THE WAY TO EU HIGH-POWER LASERS

As part of the «Preparatory Action on Defence Research» (PADR), the European Defence Agency (EDA)  launched in March 2018 several calls for proposals in order to prepare the future defence capabilities of the European Union.

At the head of a consortium gathering 16 companies, laboratories and universities from 9 European countries, CILAS has answered the call for proposals on high-power laser effector.

CILAS consortium’s project, called TALOS (Tactical Advanced Laser Optical System) aims to create European capabilities in laser technologies, for the purpose of a development program of a laser effector for defence applications by 2025.

CILAS, expert in laser and optronics, will lead this project which will last 3 years with the aim of making an innovative technologies demonstration in the field of laser and propagation and of proposing a roadmap.
