US Navy Deploys Warship Armed With New Anti-Drone Laser System


(Worthy News) – The U.S. Navy has deployed a warship armed with its first laser weapon defense system capable of blinding and distracting enemy drones.

Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) said in a Feb. 20 report that the Navy’s Optical Dazzling Interdictor, or ODIN laser weapon, was recently installed on the USS Dewey guided-missile destroyer.

The new laser-based drone defense system is capable of tracking, disabling and jamming the sensors of enemy drones, or Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), according to a Congressional Research Service report (pdf) from December 2019, titled “Navy Lasers, Railgun, and Gun-Launched Guided Projectile.” [ Source: Epoch Times (Read More…) ]
