Laser Gun Fired from Navy Ship  A high-energy laser (HEL) fired from a US warship off the California coast has ignited a nearby boat. See video.
Similar systems had previously been tested on land, however moist sea air presented an extra challenge as it reduces a beam's power.
The navy said that ship-borne lasers could eventually be used to protect vessels from small attack boats.
Early systems used large, chemical-based lasers which tended to produce dangerous waste gasses.
More recently, scientists have developed solid state lasers that combine large numbers of compact beam generators, similar to LEDs. The US Navy system uses a Joint High Power Solid State Laser mounted on deck.
