An incredible picture that firing the US Navy with a drone -dreadful laser weapon – called Helios – is going viral on social media with one of its warships. The undated image was published in the annual report of the US Center for Counterbuilders. It captured the warfighting laser technology, which was removed from the Ocean from the USS Prebal Destroyer. Demo “aiming to verify and validate HEL’s functionality, performance and capacity with integrated optical dazzling and monitoring systems against an unmanned air vehicle target,” the report states that the report states that the report states that the report stated. New York Post,
No other details have been released about the testing and evaluation of the department. According to the post, the test follows the successful test of the UK of its own laser weapons, Dragonfire against air goals last year.
About all helios
Helios (high energy laser with integrated optical dazzlers and monitoring), developed by Lockheed Martin for the US, uses a 60 kW high-energy laser that can attach the target at the speed of light. As The Defense PostOne of its most unusual features is its layered defense approach, which kills both hard and soft of hostile hazards. While the hard kiln means that the weapon can physically destroy its goals, the soft Kill allows it to disrupt the electronic components of hostile hazards to disable contact with its operators.
Lockheed said, “Deep magazine of the helios system, low cost per kilo, light delivery speed, and accurate response enables it to remove the needs of the fleet,” Lockheed said. “And its mature, scalable architecture supports the increase in laser power levels to combat additional hazards in the future,” it said.

Meanwhile, many countries including UK, South Korea, Israel, Türkiye, Germany and Japan have also developed laser weapons. Last year, South Korea announced that it would soon start a large -scale producer laser weapon at the ‘Star Wars’ franchise to shoot the North Korean drone. South Korea named its laser program “Starwar Project”. The country’s DAPA, which handles defense procurement, development and production, announced a 100 billion von contract for the manufacture of drone-killing weapons. It described the weapon as effective and cheap and discovered that the laser is calm and invisible, and the cost of a shot was only 2,000.
In the same year, the UK Ministry also tested a laser weapon, dragonfire, which reportedly destroyed the drone that came several miles away during a test. With this, the ministry hopes that it will pave the way for a low -cost option for missiles to shoot goals such as drones. It further stated that the weapon is accurate enough to kill a coin from one kilometer away.
The dragonfire will be used by both the Army and the Royal Navy as part of their future air defense capabilities.
