Iranian drones and gunboats may want to think twice before harassing U.S. Navy vessels after a successful round of testing on a new laser weapon.

Capt. Karrey Sanders of the amphibious transport dock ship Portland recently commented on the Solid State Laser Weapons System Demonstrator, which disabled a UVA for the first time on May 16.

Footage of the weapon in operation was also published on YouTube.
