| USS Portland, an amphibious dock ship that is part of the US Navy's fleet, is one of the early adopters of directed energy laser weapons - an emerging market segment that Coherent says it is now set to increase its focus on. Earlier this year, the Portland laser is said to have downed a drone successfully in its first at-sea trials. The laser system was provided by defense contractor Northrop Grumman.
