The sea storm:</blockquote>Storms also block the X-band radar and infrared sensors used to guide anti ship missiles in the first place, and wave height forces the missiles to fly higher giving more time for AEGIS to kill them first. The biggest use for the laser is doing exactly what we see it doing in the video, shooting down cheap drones an enemy might be able to send by the hundreds overwhelming normal defenses. Cheap drones will be too slow and poorly controlled to work in storms.</blockquote>
