by Oishee Majumdar

The Australian subsidiary of the UK-headquartered QinetiQ has secured an AUD12.9 million (USD8.68 million) contract from the Australian Department of Defence (DoD) to co-develop and manufacture a high-energy laser system prototype.

The laser system prototype is expected to improve the Australian Defence Force's (ADF's) defensive capabilities in a “wide range of operational environments”, the DoD said on 4 April.

Janes understands that the laser system prototype will be developed and built by QinetiQ under a two-year contract in South Australia.
