Laser weapons have always been the subject of sci-fi movies, but they are actually being developed in reality. The U.S. Navy recently successfully tested a laser to shoot down a drone, proving that the technology can be used to track and attack larger objects.
The U.S. Navy recently announced that it successfully shot down a drone that was considered a subsonic cruise missile in a test using an all-electric high-energy laser weapon. This test is a layered laser defense system (LLD) developed by Lockheed Martin. The program itself is a cooperation between the US Navy, the Department of Defense and Lockheed Martin. This test mainly hopes that the demonstration system can be used to track and destroy such large targets. In the future Other similar velocity and volume targets can also be used with this system.
The US Navy said that the system can effectively track the target, and the laser weapon can adjust the firepower, such as only temporarily blinding the target, etc., and because it does not need to use gunpowder, it is relatively safe to carry on the ship, and if there is a power supply, it will not be charged. Up to the ammo inventory limit, it only costs regarding $1 per shot.
