Navy Tests New Vehicle-Mounted Laser Weapon:
"The Office of Naval Research is testing a solid-state, vehicle-mounted laser weapon
designed to incinerate a range of air and ground targets such as enemy drones,
rockets and even IEDs, service officials told Military.com.
“Air defense covers rockets, artillery, mortars, UAVs, vehicles and IEDs – anything
you can kill with a laser. This program is focused on going after the UAV threat. As
we move into the future that broader threat set is fair game,” said Lee Mastroianni,
program manager for the so-called Ground-Based Air Defense Directed Energy
On-the-Move Program, or GBAD."
