Hopefully, we can get a few of them deployed around North Korea on Aegis-equipped vessels to
offset their bombastic rhetoric.

I'm sure it's just coincidence that the Navy have released this demo just when fatboy is throwing his toys.
...and LOL, Allen!

The Navy's a little late in the laser weapons game. As for North Korea and Aegis-equipped sea vessels, a few laser-packing Boeing 747-400F's would provide a sufficient and more mobile deterrent.

That weapon will do wonders, providing...
... that water vapour between the target and LaWS are nearly absent as infra-red are absorbed by it.
... that the target moves in a rectilinear trajectory for at least 3 to 5 seconds.
... that it is covered by an infra-red absorbing surface.
But if it comes fast and uses evasive manoeuvres, or if it is covered by infra-red reflective or non-absorbing material, or if it uses stealth technology, or if it simply comes on a rainy day, pray that the weapons' officer has something else to throw at it.:kilroy:

It's more than likely right in front of the PHALANX.
