MIRACL, or Mid-Infrared Advanced Chemical Laser, is a directed energy weapon developed by the US Navy. It is a deuterium fluoride laser, a type of chemical laser. The MIRACL laser first became operational in 1980. [1] It can produce over a megawatt of output for up to 70 seconds, [2] making it the most powerful continuous wave (CW) laser in the US.
The High Energy Laser with Integrated Optical-dazzler and Surveillance (HELIOS) is a Lockheed Martin-developed 300 kilowatt high-energy laser weapon designed to intercept combat drones, fast-attack craft, and missiles. [1] After winning the contract in 2018, the first announced installation was on the USS Preble (DDG-88) in 2019. [2]
