Back in 1970, a transport shipnamedUSS Ponce LPD-15 took to the Sea. She was decommissioned in 2012 but thencame backto life as a testbed platform for the Navy.
This is not the future; it’s here NOW. The Navy is calling it the LaWS – Laser Weapons System.
We call it a “laser”, it’s more specifically “directed-energy”…either way, America’s got it. Let’s check out some of the successful tests of this Star Wars-like weapon.
Land or Air, the LaWS can shoot it down.
