Rolls-Royce Delivers System To Support Laser Tech

摘要

Rolls-Royce has developed a new system that combines thermal management and power into one product, which will aid in the deployment of laser technology, according to a company executive. In December, Rolls-Royce announced that it delivered the system -known as "ColdFire" - to Lockheed Martin for integration and testing. Laser technologies generally produce large amounts of heat because they operate at high levels of power. Craig McVay, senior vice president for military strategic systems at Rolls-Royce North America, said the company's product is able to provide power to a directed energy weapon while also dissipating the heat that is generated.
