US Navy’s HELIOS Laser Weapon Turns Iranian Drones Into Dust

Описание: The US Navy’s HELIOS laser weapon system is quietly changing the future of naval warfare.

On February 8th, 2026, during testing in the Arabian Sea, the USS Preble demonstrated how a 60-kilowatt high-energy laser can disable drone threats in seconds — at a cost of less than one dollar per shot.

In this in-depth analysis, we break down:

• How HELIOS (High Energy Laser with Integrated Optical-dazzler and Surveillance) works
• Why it solves the U.S. Navy’s magazine depth crisis
• How Iranian Shahed-136 drones are vulnerable to laser defense systems
• The economics of missile defense vs directed energy weapons
• The limitations of laser weapons in real-world combat
• Why this could reshape military balance in the Persian Gulf

This is not speculation. This analysis is based on publicly available sources including Congressional Research Service reports, U.S. Navy statements, Lockheed Martin documentation, USNI News, Breaking Defense, and The War Zone.

As drone warfare expands globally, directed energy weapons like HELIOS may define the next era of naval strategy.
