Apollo, scalable to 150 kW, will be showcased at DSEI UK from 9 to 12 September 2025 as part of Team Defence Australia. EOS said the system has been developed to defeat Group 1–3 drones and disrupt their sensors, providing 360° coverage, vertical engagements, and more than 200 stored shots when isolated.
The weapon is packaged for mobility in containerised or vehicle-mounted configurations and can be deployed as a stand-alone system or integrated within layered counter-drone defences. EOS added that Apollo is designed to connect with NATO fielded command-and-control and integrated air defence systems.
Dr Andreas Schwer, EOS Group CEO, said: “EOS has developed its high energy laser weapon to meet the urgent market need and emerging strategic requirement to defend against drone swarm attacks at an economical cost. There is strong international interest in high energy laser weapons, and it is increasingly clear they will play a central role in counter-drone defence. The demand is urgent and accelerating, which is why EOS has invested for years to bring this capability to a level of maturity. Being ITAR-free and fully controlled by EOS, Apollo is ready for partners to adopt, localise and sustain as their own.”
EOS underlined that the system reflects its long heritage in laser and optical technologies, drawing on this expertise to create a next-generation counter-drone solution. The company is exhibiting at DSEI UK on Stand S2-110, where its laser capabilities will be presented to international partners.
