Athena was jointly developed by Lockheed Martin Group, the US Army's Space and Missile Command (SMDC) to equip tanks and other vehicles. Athena is equipped with state-of-the-art laser beam control, along with the ALADIN (Accelerated Laser Demonstration Initiative) laser system to optimize efficiency and attack capabilities.

Lockheed Martin recently released a video showing the moment when UAVs caught fire from the tail while flying in the air and fell to the ground due to losing control and balance.

Lockheed Martin said in the future they could install the system on military aircraft, helicopters and warships.
