MARLBOROUGH, Mass., Oct. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — IPG Photonics today announced that from October 6th though October 8th, 2026, IPG Defense will participate in Land Forces 2026 in Perth, Australia to showcase CROSSBOW™ High-Energy Laser (HEL) Systems. This key industry event provides a platform to forge strategic alliances and collaborate to shape the future of the global aerospace and defense market.

IPG Defense Products at Land Forces 2026

In the IPG Defense booth, visitors will experience both the previously released CROSSBOW MINI and the first addition to the new CROSSBOW SE product line, the CROSSBOW SE1 8 kW. Multiple systems will be on display in a typical layered defense arrangement to showcase several deployment scenarios first-hand. Both products share the same scalable architecture and easily integrate with available radar and C2 systems. CROSSBOW MINI systems allow for rapid expeditionary deployment where mobility is critical, and the CROSSBOW SE product line provides increased laser power options for longer range defense against Group I-III UAS threats.

In addition, interactive kiosks will allow attendees to conduct virtual simulations by placing UAS threats and CROSSBOW laser defense systems into scenes to defend critical assets. This interactive experience provides a detailed example of how IPG Defense products can be deployed to defend against UAS swarms in any environment.

Increased Drone Incursions are Fueling Demand

Military installations, government buildings, public arenas, port complexes and critical infrastructures are but a few of the locations where CROSSBOW laser defense systems provide scalable and cost-effective Counter-UAS protection.

“Across the globe, UAS, whether individually or in swarms, continue to threaten both military and civilian critical assets,” said Dr. Ben Allison, Vice President of IPG Defense. “Our presence here at Land Forces is to engage with customers and showcase how our current product lines address their needs, with particular emphasis on demonstrating cooperative engagements with multiple CROSSBOW systems in a layered defense architecture.”

The IPG Defense booth K05 on Level 3 at Land Forces will be staffed with knowledgeable program personnel who are able to discuss laser defense solutions and IPG Defense products.
