Laser System Weapon

In december 2014 the united states navy reported that the laws system worked perfectly against low end asymmetric threats. The high energy laser with integrated optical dazzler and surveillance helios system or helios is a defensive weapon system designed to burn boats and shoot down unmanned drones. Already deployed on the uss ponce amphibious transport ship is the us navys first in fact the worlds first active laser weapon.

The weapon was designed to strategically take out flying unmanned vessels.

Laser system weapon. Lockheed martin breakthroughs are boosting the performance of laser weapon systems for ground air and sea platforms while shrinking their size weight and power consumption. The anseq 4 laser weapon system built by kratos and developed by the us naval research lab is a directed energy weapon. It also has the ability to surgically destroy engines of manned watercraft without endangering the lives of any onboard personnel. The weapon was installed on uss ponce for field testing in 2014.

The anseq 3 laser weapon system or xn 1 laws is a directed energy weapon developed by the united states navy. This includes spectral beam combining adaptive optics precision pointing line of sight stabilization and air flow control. The advanced solid state high energy laser hel weapon system provides proven laser technologies to enable the detection and defeat of an expanding range of targets including unmanned vehicles missile threats isr systems rockets artillery and mortars. The weapon known as the laser weapons system laws can be found mounted on the uss ponce which is currently deployed in the persian gulf.

Initial testing of the laws which cost around 40m to develop saw the system successfully destroy two small metal targets on floating platforms as well as a target drone.
