Pred kratkim je U . s . mornarica podelila pogodbo o stroških, ki jih je pripravila skoraj 30 milijonov dolarjev za kalifornijski zagonski koherentni vesoljski in obramb Laserji vlaken za ciljno osvetlitev in daljinsko zaznavanje ter integriranje več 50- kilovatnih modulov v en sam žarek skozi komponente krmiljenja žarka, da sestavijo 400-} Kilowatt laserski sistem .
The work on the Pine Bow project is expected to be completed in January 2027 and is part of the U.S. Navy's work to expand its directed weapon capabilities and replace traditional interceptors. Such directed energy weapons cost between $1 and $10 per shot and can operate continuously as long as the ship's fuel supply supports power generation. The Pine Bow system is developed for both offshore and land-based platforms, but the target carrier platform has not yet been determined. Its target output power level significantly exceeds the U.S. Navy's current laser systems, such as 30-kilowatt laser weapon systems and 60-kilowatt high-energy lasers with integrirani optični slepi in nadzorne sisteme .
