The U.S. Navy is leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance the effectiveness of laser weapons against drone threats, particularly in swarm scenarios. This initiative, led by the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) in collaboration with Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and the Air Force Research Laboratory, aims to automate critical processes in laser weapon systems (LWS) to improve targeting speed and accuracy This development represents a significant advancement in military technology, focusing on integrating AI with directed energy weapons to counter increasingly sophisticated aerial threats effectively
