Congress is advocating for the development of a containerized version of HELIOS, the Navy's advanced laser system capable of disabling drones from an active warship. This initiative aims to enhance the deployment flexibility of the HELIOS laser, which is currently the only system of its kind in operation. By placing the laser in a container, the Navy could potentially expand its use across various platforms and locations, improving operational readiness and response capabilities. The push for this innovation reflects a growing emphasis on modernizing military technology to address evolving aerial threats.
