Follow on Google News | Tech Headlines: Navy to Deploy Lasers in 2014By: The New New Internet http://www.thenewnewinternet.com/ The Lockheed Martin weapon recently demonstrated its capabilities by disabling a drone mid-flight. The laser is meant to target small armored boats from Iran that reportedly harass U.S. Navy ships in the Persian Gulf and drones. The unit costs around $32 million to produce but only costs $1 to fire. The laser prototype will be mounted to the fantail of the USS Ponce and sent to the 5th fleet region in the Middle East for real-world experience. The Navy said the new weapon is 100 percent in testing in terms of destroying its target.
