Laser Counter-UAS · Developed in Germany

Tomorrow's weapon systems.
For today's threats.

ADAMA develops high-power laser systems that stop hostile drones instantly and precisely — protecting critical infrastructure and armed forces at a fraction of the cost of conventional interception.

The drone threat is a rate and cost problem, not a single-target problem. Attackers produce cheap drones at industrial scale and use decoys to exhaust expensive magazines — while interceptors remain unit goods, produced in the hundreds per year and costing orders of magnitude more than their targets.

ADAMA turns that logic around. Our laser effector engages at the speed of light, costs less than one euro per shot, and its magazine is electrical power — not stored munitions. Against an effector that never runs empty, decoys lose their purpose. Built in Germany with an ITAR-free supply chain, for civil and defence operators where resilient protection matters most.

Use cases

The threat does not wait for a war — it begins below that threshold: airports paralysed for hours, systematic reconnaissance over industrial sites, saturation attacks on infrastructure. One platform covers the spectrum, from continuous protection in dense civil environments to very-short-range air defence in the field.

Airports

Every hour of drone-related standstill costs millions. Neutralize intruders without debris, closures or collateral risk — and keep runways open.

Energy & industry

24/7 protection for power plants, refineries, ports and production sites — including against systematic aerial reconnaissance, with auditable engagement logs.

Ground-based air defence

Very-short-range air defence for stationary and mobile forces, integrable into existing sensor and C2 ecosystems.

Swarm defence

Simultaneous multi-target engagement counters saturation attacks that overwhelm conventional single-target defences.

Public events & government sites

Silent and invisible to the crowd: effect adjustable from reversible sensor dazzling to a controlled crash into a designated exclusion zone.

Defending the urban airspace

Cities are the hardest defence environment. Every intercept happens above people, buildings and critical infrastructure — the defender must answer not only for the hit, but for what its own effector does on the ground.

The kinetic problem
  • Falling debris. Every kinetic intercept breaks target and effector into fragments that come down in the urban area.
  • Unexploded ordnance. Undetonated interceptors and rounds become a hazard of their own.
  • Fragmentation over built-up areas. Interceptor warheads work through fragmentation — by design.
  • Ammunition in the city. Kinetic point defence means storing and moving munitions in populated areas.
  • Restricted firing sectors. Rules of engagement over cities create exactly the gaps low-flying drones exploit.
The laser answer
  • Nothing falls but the target — brought down under control, its crash point influenced by the timing of the engagement.
  • Centimetre-precise effect along a controlled line of sight. No dispersion pattern, no fragmentation.
  • Sectors limited in software. Geofencing and elevation masks confine the beam to safe corridors — configurable and auditable.
  • Grid power replaces the ammunition chain. The magazine is practically unlimited — decisive against saturation attacks.
  • Silent, no launch signature. No bang, no visible missile, no panic caused by the defence itself.
Layer 0 — completing the defence network

The laser does not replace layered air defence — it completes it at the bottom, where kinetic defence fails economically and physically. Mass drones and decoys are taken by the laser; every expensive interceptor stays available for the targets it was built for. Integration is staged and low-risk: stand-alone site protection, then cueing from existing radars, then full command-network integration via open standards — existing investments in sensors and command systems are upgraded, not replaced.
