A new lineup of directed-energy solutions from US firm Attalon gives defense users multiple laser power options for different operational requirements.
Named after the Latin word for strength, Valaris brings together the company’s coherent, spectral, and dichroic beam-combined laser technologies under a single platform.
The lineup includes Valaris X, a 50-kilowatt-class laser architecture equipped with advanced adaptive optics and capable of scaling beyond 300 kilowatts for long-range directed-energy missions.
The Valaris S occupies the mid-power range, delivering 30-kilowatt-class performance that can scale to 50 kilowatts while maintaining beam quality and production costs.
At the lower end, Valaris D delivers 10-kilowatt-class performance for missions requiring less power.
“Directed energy is no longer defined solely by what is possible in the lab — it is defined by what can be built, delivered, and sustained in the field,” said John Bergeron, chief executive officer of Attalon.
“Valaris represents that shift. It brings together our most mature beam-combined laser technologies into a single platform designed to move customers from prototype systems to production-ready capability with speed, confidence, and scale.”
Finding the Right Laser for the Mission
Attalon is positioning Valaris as demand grows for laser technologies that balance performance with manufacturability, maintainability, and operational readiness.
The company brings multiple beam-combined laser architectures together under one product family to give system integrators different options for matching laser technology and power to mission requirements.
“Customers aren’t looking for a single laser architecture — they’re looking for the right laser architecture for their mission,” said Matt Straup, vice president and general manager of directed energy and advanced lasers at Attalon.
“Valaris gives system integrators the flexibility to choose the beam-combined laser solution that best meets… requirements while leveraging technologies that have already proven themselves across demanding defense applications.”
