Watch the Navy shooting down an airplane over the Pacific ocean using the new LaWS (Laser Weapon System) guided by Raytheon’s Phalanx Close-In Weapon sensors. Welcome to the future, where we all die in the hands of angry laser-firing bots.
The LaWS is a six-laser cannon guided by the Phalanx Block 1B—the white structure that you can see here, mounted next to LaWS. Phalanx identifies and tracks the targets using electro-optical systems, measuring the range using radio frequency sensors. With that information, LaWS follows the target, and focuses the energy of its six beams on one point until it takes the airplane down because of the heat:
The plan is to test these systems until they become part of every Navy battleship.

Too bad there won’t be a USA in the future for them to test their new ‘weapon’ out.
seems like an awesome answer for chinas new aircraft destroying missle though this is really old news im sure they have already been implemented i was reading stories about research for his like 12 yrs ago on popular but i believe it was mounted in a c-130 Hercules and if i remember correctly it was some reaction from two gasses but maby im wrong but it was for the same application deference against craft and missiles
