High-Energy Laser Effector Tested On German Warship (upi.com)

Posted by BeauHD on Sunday February 21, 2016 @01:17AM from the show-of-force dept.

Rheinmetall and the German armed forces have completed a recent test of their high-energy laser effector on a German warship. During the test, a 10-kilowatt high-energy laser, or HEL, was mounted on a MLG 27 light naval gun. The HEL was then used to track potential targets, which included unmanned aerial vehicles and stationary land targets. The test marked the first demonstration of the HEL on a naval platform, which Rheinmetall says revealed insights for developing future maritime HEL effectors.

They must have done something to get one of their warships melted.
