Lockheed aims for laser on fighter by 2025!! Let me clarify that the laser to be mounted on a pod which could be carried even by a 4th gen fighter, like the F-16, will be for defensive purposes i.e. to disable air to air and surface to air missiles fired at the fighter. Offensive lasers to attack other aircraft will come later probably with the NGAD/6th gen fighter as the power requirements will be higher as they will need to work over greater distances.
