US ships will have laser guns in 2014
A US admiral says the warship will be capable of destroying small ships and planes by laser pulses over the next two years.
In a Wired interview, Rear Admiral Matthew Klunder, head of the US Naval Research Service, revealed that the Navy has tested laser-firing devices capable of destroying ships and planes. . Even the US Naval Research Service is considering the possibility of integrating laser launching equipment into traditional weapons such as machine guns. If everything goes according to plan, within two years one will see laser guns on American warships.
The US Navy has shot down unmanned aerial vehicles with machine guns and laser guns on board in an experiment in 2010 in the Pacific. In that experiment, the gun emits a laser that people do not see, not the blue or red laser that people see on fiction films.
Another project, funded by the US Naval Research Service in 2011, demonstrated that lasers could destroy small vessels. Normally small vessels are not a threat to US warships, but they can carry weapons or turn into floating bombs.
If laser guns are present on warships, they will need a fair amount of power. Therefore the ability of the warships to produce electricity would have to increase if they wanted to receive laser guns. This is also a requirement for ships wishing to possess a magnetic-gun - a super weapon capable of firing extremely fast and destroying targets up to 160km away.
