Lockheed Martin to Develop Laser Weapons for U.S. Navy Destroyers
By 2020, Lockheed Martin will deliver a high-energy laser that will be installed on a U.S. Navy destroyer.

The U.S. Navy's next laser weapon will break new ground for high-energy lasers. The Navy has awarded Lockheed Martin a US $150 million contract to develop, build, and deliver two copies of a new laser weapon for use on destroyers.
The new laser weapon system is called the High Energy Laser and Integrated Optical-dazzler with Surveillance (HELIOS) system for the way it integrates three distinct capabilities.
