Lockheed Martin Is Aiming To Fulfill The Navy's Dream Of A Portable Laser Weapon

• Business Insider
 

Now, with a recent report from Lockheed Martin, the Military is one step closer towards that dream. 

The recent press release from Lockheed Martin states:

Lockheed Martin has demonstrated a 30-kilowatt electric fiber laser, the highest power ever documented while retaining beam quality and electrical efficiency.

The internally funded research and development program culminated in this demonstration, which was achieved by combining many fiber lasers into a single, near-perfect quality beam of light—all while using approximately 50 percent less electricity than alternative solid-state laser technologies.
