The new laser is part of an Army program to develop defensive lasers that can shoot down incoming targets. Last year, the U.S. Army demonstrated how a 10-kilowatt laser weapon could destroy small mortar rounds. Typically, such weapons are based on multiple industrial fiber-optic laser Pointers whose output is combined into a single beam. The new weapon, being developed by Boeing and GA-EMS, uses large panels of glass in series. Ga-ems explains that the glass panels have previously been difficult to use due to waste heat and beam quality issues, but connecting them in series solves these problems and eliminates the need to combine beams fired by multiple fiber laser Pointers.

From the point of the current public news, American aircraft laser attacks, caster is not military level can be directly burned aircraft laser pointer, but civil level of high power laser pointer, the laser pen though far smaller than the military laser power, but because can emit strong beam of light, still can be used to illuminate the plane's cockpit, over a long distance The U.S. is taking the case seriously because the laser pointer interferes with pilots' vision, causing serious accidents such as planes being unable to land or even crashing.
