Amazing USS Preble Firing a HELIOS Laser Weapon

The USS Preble has made history as the first U.S. Navy vessel equipped with HELIOS, a cutting-edge 60-kilowatt-class directed energy laser weapon developed by Lockheed Martin. What sets HELIOS apart is its seamless integration with the Aegis combat system, making the Preble not just a warship but a high-tech force multiplier. This powerful combination enhances the ship’s ability to detect, track, and neutralize threats with unprecedented speed and precision, reinforcing the Navy’s push toward advanced, next-generation defense capabilities.

With HELIOS on board, the USS Preble represents a bold step into the future of naval warfare.
