Short-range antipersonnel less-lethal weapon that uses a laser to cause temporary blindness, skin burns, and pain. In production [66] Northrop Grumman electric laser: Electric laser capable of producing a 100-kilowatt ray of light, with potential to be mounted in aircraft, ship, or vehicle. 2009: Experimental [67] [68] Northrop Grumman laser gun
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] As of 2024, higher-power laser weapons in the 150 to 300 kW range are being tested against anti-ship cruise missiles. [3] [4]
By August 2007, 96 laser lines were completed and commissioned, and "A total infrared energy of more than 2.5 megajoules has now been fired. This is more than 40 times what the Nova laser typically operated at the time it was the world's largest laser". [96]

The ranges offer “unlimited shooting,” with Jaber saying customers aren’t timed. It costs $25 to use the pistol range, $30 for the rifle range and $40 to utilize both.
As a result the maximum safe laser intensity output is utilized without risking ocular damage. [15] [16] [17] The older GLARE LA-9/P variant includes a rangefinder and an automatic cutoff failsafe but does not have automated modulation capability. [18] Effective range for the various GLARE dazzlers ranges from 400 m to 20+ km.
Early 15th-century Flemish giant cannon Dulle Griet at Ghent (caliber of 660 mm). This list contains all types of cannon through the ages listed in decreasing caliber size. For the purpose of this list, the development of large-calibre artillery can be divided into three periods, based on the kind of projectiles used, due to their dissimilar characteristics, and being practically ...
