NRL Advances Dual-Use Laser System for Power Transmission and Defense
The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) has demonstrated a dual-use laser system that can transmit power wirelessly and counter aerial threats. This capability enhances expeditionary energy solutions and defense operations for military personnel.

The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) successfully demonstrated a dual-use laser system that wirelessly transmits power while also functioning as a directed-energy defense system. Sponsored by the Office of the Under Secretary of War for Acquisition & Sustainment, this demonstration showcased the system's ability to deliver power and address aerial threats simultaneously without operational interruption.
Conducted in realistic field conditions, it highlighted the necessity for joint-service collaboration, particularly benefiting the U.S. Army's expeditionary power needs. Future demonstrations will involve feedback from Marines, Soldiers, and Sailors to refine operational capabilities. This initiative aims to advance directed-energy technologies, improving logistics and resilience in military operations.
