USS Preble Tests Advanced Laser Weapon Against Drones

The USS Preble has successfully tested a cutting-edge laser weapon designed to engage and destroy drone targets, as revealed in the U.S. Center for Countermeasures’ recent annual report. The system, known as HELIOS, is unique to the USS Preble, the only destroyer in the U.S. Navy equipped with high-energy laser capabilities. This development is part of ongoing evaluations to enhance capabilities against unmanned aircraft systems and represents a significant evolution in naval warfare technology.

The testing, captured in newly released imagery, occurred shortly after the USS Preble’s departure from San Diego to its forward-deployed location in Yokosuka, Japan, signaling the Navy’s commitment to integrating advanced directed energy weapons into its fleet. This initiative follows similar trials conducted by international naval forces, including the U.K., further emphasizing the global interest in laser technology for military applications.
