NewsDecember 04, 2019
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. Radiance Technologies, Inc., has been awarded the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command (USASMDC) Manufacturing Advancement of Components for High Energy Lasers (MACHEL) task order (TO).
Under the D3I indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract, MACHEL is a four-year, $49.1 million TO. The primary focus of MACHEL is the research, design, implementation, and evaluation of advanced manufacturing techniques for high energy laser (HEL) weapon system components and subsystems.
Radiance will also support the effort by researching manufacturing techniques to improve development timelines for HEL technologies. The increasing complexity and flexibility of target sets require HEL systems to engage and destroy targets faster and farther away.
