U.S. Navy Ramps Up Hypersonic Missiles and Laser Defense Tests - CHINA and RUSSIA in Panic!

Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Michael Gilday says the service has used lasers to intercept ballistic missiles and doubled its investment in hypersonic weapons to support future mission requirements. Recent tests included the Navy launching hypersonic weapons from its stealthy Zumwalt-class destroyers and incinerating incoming ballistic missiles by firing deck-mounted laser systems miles up into the atmosphere.
The Army and Navy are respectively planning to field hypersonic weapons in 2023 and 2025, Gilday recently told the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense. And while the Department of Defense is investing $21 billion into researching and developing hypersonic weapons, it is also pursuing other innovative systems, such as high-powered microwave weapons alongside U.S. industry.
In recent years, the Navy has been working with the Missile Defense Agency on the “power scaling” of laser systems with the specific aim of increasing offensive and defensive capacity at much longer ranges and with much greater degrees of power. This means configuring expeditionary electrical power to support multiple laser beams on vessels at sea. This continues to be promising, to the point wherein high-powered lasers could soon perform missile defense missions just beneath or even above the boundary of the earth’s atmosphere.
