Engagement Sequence:
  1. Threat detected by ship radar or off-board sensors
  2. Track data transferred to laser weapon system
  3. Beam director slews to target azimuth and elevation
  4. Low-power laser designates target for tracking
  5. High-power laser fires, delivering energy on target
  6. Adaptive optics compensates for atmospheric distortion
  7. Continuous illumination until target destroyed (3-10 seconds)
  8. Beam switches to next target within 1 second

Target Effects:
  Cruise Missiles: Structural failure or fuel ignition in 3-5 seconds
  UAVs: Sensor damage or airframe burn-through in 1-3 seconds
