The Plasma Acoustic Shield System or PASS is in the process of being developed by Stellar Photonics. The company received a $2.7 million contract from the U.S. Government to build the PASS. It is part of a project supervised by the United States Army Armament Research Development and Engineering Center. The laser was first tested in 2008 and will continue to be tested into 2009 with the testing of turret-mounted PASS.
