Navy’s Destroyer with New Laser Is Truly a "Monster" at Sea

In an August 18th press release, Lockheed Martin announced it had delivered and installed the first High-Energy Laser with Integrated Optical Dazzler and Surveillance system (HELIOS) on the U.S. Navy’s Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, the USS Preble. The Preble is the first of the service’s ships to be equipped with the 60-kW high-energy laser weapon and have it integrated with the Aegis combat system. The U.S. Navy’s Arleigh Burke-class destroyer USS Preble is now armed with a High-Energy Laser with Integrated Optical Dazzler and Surveillance system, or HELIOS. Preble is the first of the service’s ships to be equipped with HELIOS, which is a 60-kilowatt class directed energy laser weapon and is also the first to have any such weapon integrated with the Aegis combat system. The destroyer joins a small, but growing number of Navy vessels equipped with directed energy weapons of various types. Lockheed Martin, the prime contractor behind HELIOS, issued a press release last week announcing the installation of the system onboard Preble, but pictures on the ship’s official Facebook page show it had been installed weeks before then. In March, the company said it had completed land-based testing of the system at a range at Wallops Island, Virginia, and that it was being shipped to Preble’s homeport of San Diego for integration onto the destroyer. #us navy #us navy destroyer #modern warships
