The U.S. Navy successfully tested its High-Energy Laser with Integrated Optical Dazzler and Surveillance (HELIOS) system aboard the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer USS Preble last year, according to a recently released report.
The annual report from the Office of the Director, Operational Test and Evaluation, released in January, included an undated photo showing a streak of white light beaming out from the USS Preble destroyer in the middle of the ocean. The specific location of the Preble's test remains unclear.
