QinetiQ has opened a new 'centre of excellence' for the development and testing of advanced laser technology at its headquarters in Farnborough. The new facility - called Dragonworks - will serve as a test bed for all technologies associated with high-energy lasers for military or commercial applications. It includes a purpose-built 'clean room' to enable work with sensitive optical equipment to be conducted away from contaminants, plus the UK's only Reflective Hazard Assessment Tool (RHAT), designed to examine how laser light is reflected from different surfaces.
