Applied Energetics, Inc. engages in the business of development and manufacturing advanced high-performance lasers, advanced optical systems, high voltage electronics, and integrated guided energy systems for prospective defense, national security, industrial, biomedical, and scientific customers. The company is headquartered in Tucson, Arizona and currently employs 21 full-time employees. The Company’s proprietary architecture enables orders of magnitude size-weight-power reductions, a key differentiator when compared with traditional continuous wave (CW) laser technology with larger footprints. Its dual-use systems are designed for integration and deployment on numerous potential defense platforms for the delivery of high intensity, ultrashort pulses of light to disable or destroy a target. These technologies have applications in both national security and commercial markets. The firm has developed and holds crucial intellectual property rights to a dynamic directed energy technology called Laser Guided Energy (LGE) and Laser Induced Plasma Channel (LIPC). LGE and LIPC are technologies that can be used in high-tech directed energy systems.
