Rheinmetall and Bundewehr test high-energy laser effector aboard German warship

heinmetall and the German Bundewehr have jointly conducted testing of a high-energy laser effector (HEL) mounted on a German warship. The testing of the 10 kW HEL effector atop the MLG 27 light naval gun was conducted to demonstrate the technology's effectiveness in maritime operations.

During testing, the technology was engaged to track potential targets, which ranged from small to highly manoeuvrable targets including unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and very small surface craft, as well as stationary targets on land. [...] When directed at optics, radio antennas, radars, ammunition, or energy sources, it can neutralise a weapon system without entirely destroying them. According to Rheinmetall, the HEL effectors are silent, high-precision weapons featuring an extended range, and can be integrated with a range of conventional effectors to form a weapon system.
