Atlas is part of a family of ground-based high energy laser assets, offered in fixed, mobile and relocatable configurations. EOS said the capability can be deployed globally to ensure freedom of action in orbit.
The system incorporates telescope and dome designs to detect, track and characterise on-orbit objects in real time. It provides space domain awareness day and night, including for dim and hard-to-find objects.
According to EOS, Atlas offers scalable power levels to adjust effects from deterrence through to active engagement. It also integrates with space domain awareness and multi-domain joint operations to strengthen intelligence and decision-making.
“Space is now a contested domain, and the satellites that enable both defence and civilian life are increasingly at risk. Atlas has been designed to safeguard these assets by giving operators scalable, deployable options for deterrence and space control,” said Dr Andreas Schwer, CEO of EOS.
“Atlas builds on EOS’ four decades of experience in space domain awareness and laser technology. It is a capability that combines proven expertise with operational flexibility, ensuring that allied forces have reliable options to maintain freedom of action in orbit,” Schwer said.
Atlas was displayed on the EOS Space Systems stand at IAC 2025 and will remain on show for the duration of the congress.
