US Navy Testing Laser Weapon System In The Real World.

We always knew that lasers could be used in bringing down the enemy. But now US NAVY is actually using / testing the LaWS, Laser Weapon System in the real world, against small ships, drones and mess up enemy weapons and sensors.
Bloomberg tells us that the amphibious transport ship USS Ponce has been patrolling with a prototype 30-kilowatt-class Laser Weapon System since late August. Perhaps to test the system in the real situation. It is fascinating to watch the video, even if you knew what the LaWS is capable of.

The Laser Weapon System (LaWS) temporarily installed aboard the guided-missile destroyer USS Dewey (DDG 105) (shown here conducting an operational test) in San Diego, Calif., is a technology demonstrator built by the Naval Sea Systems Command from commercial fiber solid state lasers, utilizing combination methods developed at the Naval Research Laboratory.
