US navy successfully tests giant laser against drones

Laser weapons are among the most fun sci-fi futuristic mainstays of videogames. It’s always awesome to be tropesing around some game only to pick up a huge laser cannon, like the Spartan Laser from Halo, ready to ruin the enemies day. Though this dude only needs a sniper for the same effect. There’s nothing quite like a high powered beam of light to totally annihilate whatever’s in its destructive path, even if that’s just dirt with a vacuum cleaner.

In super terrifying news, one such laser weapon was recently tested by the US Navy. The Layered Laser Defence (LLD) weapon is designed to take out missile targets was successfully tested back in February.
