This thesis from the Naval Postgraduate School analyzes the
employability of laser weapons on a Navy Littoral Combat Ship (LCS)
class ship to counter small and fast boat threats. A general model
of laser weapons is established to identify the attributes that
characterize the laser weapon system. Quantitative values of each
attribute are compared with current laser systems (that are under
development) to identify potential laser types for employment on
the Navy ship. In addition, plausible operational scenarios of
suicide attacks by multiple (up to three) small and fast motor
boats equipped with Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) against
LCS-class ships are drawn up. These provide input parameters for
computation of the required laser parameters to neutralize such
threats. Based on the chosen laser technology and the calculated
laser parameters, the requirements for employment of the laser
weapon system on a Navy ship are determined.
