A ship with a powerful laser gun will appear in the US

In the US, in Portland, a new USS Portland landing ship-dock, which will soon be installed in the laser weapon system (LaWS), is put into operation.

This is reported on the United States Naval Force's Twitter page.



It is noted that a new 30kW laser gun is planned to be used against unmanned aerial vehicles, as well as to obscure navigational systems with directed flow of energy and to inflict physical damage on attackers.

The gun for three years, starting in 2014, was tested on the USS Ponce, which carried the service in the Persian Gulf.

"This is more precise than a bullet. It's not a weapon that can be used successfully against air targets or land-based targets, it's a very versatile weapon, and can be used against many goals," said USS Ponce, captain of the USS Ponce landing ship during the test.
