It's been successfully tested on trucks, as well as UAVs and small
rockets, according to a video from Lockheed Martin, which is now
shipping the first 60kW-class "beam combined" fiber laser for use by
the U.S. Army. An anonymous reader quotes the Puget Sound Business
Journal:

Lockheed successfully developed and tested the 58 kW laser beam earlier
this year, setting a world record for this type of laser.

The company is now preparing to ship the laser system to
the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic
Command in Huntsville, Alabama [according to Robert Afzal, senior
fellow for Lockheed's Laser and Sensor Systems in Bothell].

"We have shown that a powerful directed energy laser is now
sufficiently light-weight, low volume and reliable enough to be
deployed on tactical vehicles for defensive applications on land,
at sea and in the air..." Laser weapons, which complement traditional
kinetic weapons in the battlefield, will one day protect against
threats such as "swarms of drones" or a flurry of rockets and mortars,
Lockheed said.
