The AN/SEQ-3 Laser Weapon System or XN-1 LaWS [1] is a laser weapon developed by the United States Navy. The weapon was installed on USS Ponce for field testing in 2014. In December 2014, the United States Navy reported that the LaWS system worked perfectly against low-end asymmetric threats, and that the commander of Ponce was authorized to ...
Precision-guided small arms prototypes have been developed which use a laser designator to guide an electronically actuated bullet to a target. [8] Another system in development uses a laser range finder to trigger an explosive small arms shell in proximity to a target. As of 2009, the U.S. Army has plans to use such devices in the future.
The HELIOS system uses a modular power and fiber-optic configuration that can be expanded to fire at between 60 and 120 kW. Besides drone and missile defense, it also performs long range surveillance and sensor dazzling. Its purported advantages are high precision, efficient "cost to kill", and power capacity for multiple shots. [1]
