Applied Energetics opens new Battle Lab

Applied Energetics (AERG) announced the opening of its new Battle Lab, a facility designed to test, demonstrate, and advance emerging laser technologies in dynamic environments. The facility, as planned, is also expected to provide the capacity to manufacture and integrate advanced lasers as Applied Energetics makes the anticipated technology transition to the next stage of its lifecycle The Battle Lab, located in the University of Arizona Tech Park and adjacent to the Company’s headquarters, is planned to serve as a strategic hub for Applied Energetics to accelerate the development and deployment of its novel USP laser systems tailored for counter-ISR applications. Applied Energetics expects the capabilities of the lab to continue evolving as new threats are introduced and as the technology changes to address those threats. The Company has appointed Dr. Patrick Roumayah as Director of the Battle Lab, System Integration and Test where he will be primarily responsible for integrating AE sources into internal and collaborative platforms, designing application experiments in live and simulated environments, and preparing customer and partner demonstrations of AE technology.
