Attalon Advances U.S. Navy SONGBOW Program with $17.1 Million Office of Naval Research Award
Attalon, a leading provider of advanced defense technologies, today announced it has received a $17.1 million contract modification from the Office of Naval Research under the SONGBOW program. The award supports the continued development of advanced pulsed fiber lasers and high-power directed energy subsystems for future U.S. Navy capabilities.
Under the award, Attalon will continue developing pulsed fiber lasers for remote sensing and illumination while further maturing a 400-kilowatt-class directed energy subsystem through the integration of a 50-kilowatt laser with a high-performance beam control assembly. The work will be led by Attalon’s Directed Energy & Advanced Lasers team in Beavercreek, Ohio, where the company is advancing scalable laser and beam control technologies.
“SONGBOW is focused on advancing the technologies that will enable the next generation of directed energy systems,” said Matt Straup, Vice President of Directed Energy & Advanced Lasers at Attalon. “This work continues to mature critical capabilities—including fiber lasers, beam control and system integration—that are essential to delivering scalable, operational laser systems. We are proud to continue supporting the Office of Naval Research as these technologies move closer to the field.”
