Lockheed Martin announced that it has successfully demonstrated a portable, ground-based military laser system in a series of tests against representative airborne targets.

The Area Defense Anti-Munitions (ADAM) system has successfully engaged an unmanned aerial system target in flight at a range of approximately 1.5 kilometers (0.9 miles) and has destroyed four small-caliber rocket targets in simulated flight at a range of approximately 2 kilometers (1.2 miles).
