Japanese company Kawasaki unveiled for the first time the naval version concept of their high energy laser system at DSEI Japan 2025.=====================Even though the company stresses the naval version is still a concept, a glimpse of the design was displayed on their booth showing the possible capabilities of such system for Japanese naval platforms.Kawasaki has already a backstory with direct energy weapon as it has been working on two different versions of laser systems for a few years now: one of 100KW that would be mounted on large vehicles and another much less powerful but very precise of 2 KW and capable to neutralize a UAV at several hundred meters. Tests for the two land-based systems started from 2023 with ATLA – Japanese defence research and procurement agency.
