US Navy Will Soon Pack Laser Heat in Persian Gulf

For the first time, the U.S. Navy plans to deploy a solid-state laser weapon on board one of its vessels, with the laser's debut scheduled for the Persian Gulf during fiscal year 2014. In a press release, the Navy said development and testing have resulted in a weapon that can "perform actions ranging from non-lethal disabling and deterrence all the way up to destruction." The laser will be deployed on board the USS Ponce, an Austin-class amphibious transport dock.
