Lock. Neutralize. Fergus’ C-UAS **laser effector** combines AI-driven detection with closed-loop tracking  to **defeat Class 1 drones** fast and predictably. Built from industrial-grade components and designed as a **modular system**, it scales from fixed-site protection to mobile deployments. #### Learn how it works, what it can do, and what sets us apart.

Our HEL can **permanently disable** the camera when required, or deliver a **temporary blinding effect** when a non-destructive response is preferred—preventing the drone from continuing its mission. **Effective range: up to 2km**     **How it works**   ## Detect Identify Engage Repeat A High Energy Laser (HEL) delivers focused energy at range to create controlled, measurable effects. Fergus applies HEL with closed-loop tracking and engagement discipline.

Built-for-Integration We believe many C-UAS platforms are already proven—and many integrators are highly capable. What’s been missing is **practical access to HEL** capability. Instead of competing, Fergus delivers an **integration-ready laser effector** that makes that upgrade real. We operate as your enabler to this technology: beyond standard configurations, we’re open to **modifications** that fit an integrator’s requirements and platform constraints.  High-Speed & High-Precision Fergus’ effectors use a unique beam-steering approach built for rapid, accurate engagement. Imagine this: a threat is detected at 1 km. The beam is steered onto the target at **over 4,000 km/s** and can be placed with **sub-centimeter accuracy**. That combination—speed plus precision—changes what’s possible when seconds matter, especially in **swarm-like, high-tempo scenarios**.   Compact. Mobile. Scalable. By combining advanced capability with **industrial, field-proven components**, we keep the effector and laser-source housing **as compact as possible**. Unlike container-sized 50–100 kW systems, Fergus integrates up to **10 kW**, significantly reducing **cooling requirements, weight, and overall footprint**. The result is a solution that can be mounted on **UGVs, pick-ups, or tripod-based systems**. ### Ready to Engage?
