A Weapon That Burns Through the Sky
HELIOS is a high-energy laser weapon with a power capacity of 60 kilowatts, developed by Lockheed Martin. It operates at the speed of light, targeting and destroying enemy drones, high-speed boats, and missiles within seconds by overheating and melting them.
Dual-Purpose Technology: Destruction & Disruption
HELIOS is not just a weapon of destruction but also functions as an optical dazzler. This means it can blind and disrupt enemy surveillance and intelligence-gathering sensors, weakening their strategic capabilities.
Where and When Did the Test Happen?
According to the report, specific details regarding the time and location of the test have not been disclosed. However, it confirms that the test was conducted in the middle of the ocean, with the USS Preble serving as the launch platform.
The UK Joins the Laser Arms Race!
Notably, the United Kingdom is also advancing in laser weapon technology. Last year, the UK successfully tested its DragonFire laser weapon, which is designed to destroy aerial targets with pinpoint accuracy.
The Future of Warfare is Energy Weapons!
The success of HELIOS highlights the growing significance of directed energy weapons in modern warfare. These weapons are not only faster and more accurate but also cost-effective compared to traditional ammunition. The battlefield of the future will likely be dominated by high-energy lasers capable of neutralizing threats instantly.
