The initial power of the laser must be 300 kilowatts (with subsequent increase up to 500 kW). The power of laser electricity to ensure a 30-megawatt nuclear reactor submarines. Presumably for tests of the laser for submarine powered from an external power source (not from the onboard nuclear submarines).The laser should be integrated into the non-penetrating periscope of a submarine.
