The US military recently announced that the first laser weapon to be deployed in the u.s.. The Star Wars weapons are currently only combat drones and small boats and other small objects, and will be affected by the haze.A burning laser pointer weapon for the US military has been deployed on a warship. British media believe the laser weapon will be the terminator of the traditional missile.
The laser weapon has always been a science fiction movie standard, such as "Star Wars" in the hands of the Jedi lightsaber. "Ande game" can destroy a planet laser and electromagnetic weapons etc.. These dreams of weapons, in a short time certainly will not appear in the real world. But, at least in the last two years, we have been able to see the prototype.

The terminator of the traditional missile, Lockheed Martin has developed a 300mw Green Laser Pointer system.After he U.S. military announced the deployment of laser weapons shortly, the famous American weapons company Lockheed Martin shows the world a laser power of 30 kW, which equip with high beam quality and maximum power.

After years of testing, the United States Navy decided to ship a laser weapon at this summer. It is reported that, the equipment of the "lucky" of high powered laser pointer weapons will be deployed at the United States Navy "Pang" amphibious transport ship.
"Pang" was an amphibious transport ship in 1970s, in recent years has been converted into a high-tech floating base. The US Navy has tested the performance of a laser weapon with a mobile and remote drone.
The laser weapon developed by Lei Xien, named laser defense system, which destroyed rate reached 100%. In May 2010, this burning laser system shoot down more than and 300 4 kilometers per hour uav in a distance of 3.2 km.

British media said, laser weapons Lockheed Martin will become the "traditional missile terminator".

The actual laser protection in military equipment has been widely used,for example, laser ranging, laser blinding, laser radar. This should be considered a laser weapon.

As a "floating base", "Ponce" function is to reduce the cost of air defense and unconventional warfare, instead of destroying enemy fire, so the Red Laser Pointer volume is relatively small, limited power, mainly used for combat drones, boats and other smaller targets.
However, this is not the ultimate goal of this "Star Wars weapons".

Vice president and chief technology officer Johnson said: "the existing laser module and beam synthesis technology progress can support innovation, we provide strong light and laser weapon system, and use this high powered burning laser pointer at aircraft, helicopters, ships and trucks."
"It looks like a prism," Lockheed Martin laser system business development director Woy Nar said: "the laser weapons will emit different wavelength together to form a single beam." And this light beam can be raised to 100 kilowatts or even higher according to the demand, as the speed of light military weapons".
