Electro Optic Systems (EOS) has opened its new Singapore facility, establishing a regional hub for the manufacturing, integration and testing of high energy laser capability for regional and international customers.
“The Singapore facility will operate as EOS’ centre of excellence in laser technology innovation, supporting multiple international laser projects. As demand grows, EOS expects future expansion to increasingly involve localised production and integration, driven by customer requirements for sovereignty and long-term control of capability development,” EOS, Chief Executive Officer, Andreas Schwer, stated.
Designed to support partners and customers in Singapore and across the broader region, the facility will provide a dedicated space for system integration, development, demonstration and sustainment activity.
The facility will directly support EOS’ growing pipeline of international high energy laser contracts and customer engagements.
These have included an export order for a 100 kW-class laser weapon system for the Netherlands, and a binding conditional agreement with a customer in the Republic of Korea which covers the manufacture and supply of a further 100 kW-class laser system and the establishment of a local partnership for the Korean market.
Production and integration activities associated with these engagements are expected to be supported by the Singapore facility.
