naval laser technology

Naval laser technology involves deploying high-powered laser beams from ships to target and disable enemy equipment, such as drones, small boats, or missile threats. These lasers use focused light energy to heat and damage the target rapidly and precisely, providing a rapid-response defense mechanism without traditional projectiles. They are advantageous because they can engage multiple threats quickly, have low operating costs, and produce minimal environmental impact. Advances in laser power and targeting systems are making naval lasers increasingly effective for protecting ships and maritime assets in various combat scenarios.
