The U.S. Navy successfully tested a new generation laser weapon system earlier this week in the Gulf of Aden, the Navy’s Middle East-based 5th Fleet said in a statement on Thursday.
During the demonstration on Wednesday, a high-energy laser weapon was fired from the USS Portland, an amphibious transport dock ship, on a static surface training target. The Laser Weapons System Demonstrator, or LWSD, had been previously tested in May 2020, when it successfully disabled a small unmanned aerial system while operating in the Pacific Ocean.
