US Army's 300 kW Laser Weapon Will Melt Missiles, Helicopters and Airplanes

General Atomics and Boeing have prototyped a badass 300 kW laser weapon. The prototype will produce a lethal output greater than anything fielded to date.

Back in 2014, US Navy had developed a 30kW beam capable of taking down drones. But a 300 kW laser can take down missiles, helicopters and even airplanes.
