Pentagon's Billion-Dollar Investment: Laser Weapons Revolutionize the Battlefield
The Pentagon is investing billions in laser weapons to enhance defense capabilities against a range of threats, from small rockets to ballistic missiles. Laser systems like the Iron Beam and DE M-SHORAD offer infinite interception opportunities, as they can recharge as long as there is electricity. The U.S. Army and Navy are actively testing and prototyping directed-energy systems, signaling a growing interest in the use of laser weapons in the military.
