The rising defense industry investments as well as the introduction of numerous military modernization programs are boosting the military laser systems market growth. The growing trend of Communication Navigation Surveillance (CNS) systems to enhance situational awareness and lessen the workload of military personnel is stimulating the demand for military laser systems.

Military laser systems use direct-to-diode sources with a rugged design to withstand the extensive shock and vibrations for deployment in harsh environments. Military lasers are used to confuse & dazzle the enemy in various applications such as targeting systems, night vision equipment, distraction devices, and psychological warfare. The advancements in various kilowatt laser combination techniques, beam control technology for energy adjustment, and the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) are expected to augment the demand for laser-directed weapons.

Laser beams can reach their target in nanoseconds as they move at the speed of light, which is faster than the speed of any physical object. Moreover, the weapon's targeting system must first identify the target before the laser beam can be pointed at it. The weapon's tracking system then directs a beam in the direction of the target's motion or projectile, holding it there for enough time to burn a hole through the target.
