The future's been here long enough that there's been published doctrine on the use of laser weapon systems for a couple of years now.

What does it say?

You know what they say, don't you? About how us MechWarriors are the modern knights errant, how warfare has become civilized now that we have to abide by conventions and rules of war. Don't believe it.

It's not approved for public release, but the fact of its existence is unclassified.  Wikipedia has an article on the system itself (LaWS), but a picture would belong in the Navy thread...

LaWS is pretty campy though; not really militarized at all. Won't get it on a surface vehicle too.

Btw: MEHEL on Stryker is only 2 kW. HEL on Boxer was 10 kW. Both Boeing/GD and Rheinmetall have some mobile lasers in the 50-60 kW category, though those are truck-mounted. LaWS is 33 kW.

It is still developmental, but it's been around quite a while (years)... that was my only point.
