AeroVironment announces LOCUST X3 directed-energy laser system with 20-35+ kW output

AeroVironment announced LOCUST X3, a third-generation high-energy laser weapon system designed to counter Group 1-3 unmanned aircraft systems and unmanned surface vehicles.
The system includes a scalable 20-35+ kilowatt laser and a modular beam director.
It uses AI-enabled detection, tracking, and engagement automation powered by AV_Halo PINPOINT.
The company said the system’s engagements can cost below USD 5 per shot and are not limited by reloads in the same way as traditional systems.
