In the tests, solid-state laser hit the target marine

As we reported in our news, the U.S. Navy is working to combat free-electron lasers. This technology has a great future, but the parallel development in this area is also underway. For example, recently conducted tests of the test solid-state laser capable of generating 15 kW beam.

is noteworthy that the testing took place not on dry land and in marine pump – laser unit mounted on the decommissioned destroyer USS Paul Foster, and the goal was the going a mile from his dinghy with outboard motors. Judging from the video itself, fifteen kilowatts is enough to bring down curtain motor. However, its destruction is not instantaneous, but after a few seconds to focus the beam at one point. But the gun, according to one of the developers of the project “can be installed on modern ships, without any modification of the power and cooling past».

Navy expects that the U.S. warships already in the next ten years will be equipped with solid-state lasers. This will neutralize the enemy ships and, eventually, even down to the rocket ship.
