Laser Centurion Demonstrator

A related system developed by Raytheon is the Laser Centurion Demonstrator, which hypothetically could replace the 20mm cannon of the Phalanx weapons system, an air defense platform that's commonplace on Navy vessels -- and that's known as Centurion when it's adapted for ground use by the Army. Here, the LCD is being shown off at the White Sands Missile Range in early 2009.
