I am a bit confused, is this new prototype using the 10kW laser rather than the 100kW one? And if so are there any ongoing plans for the larger device, considering it too was planned to be implemented on a vehicle?
The JSDF are currently researching three types of anti-air laser systems. The one showcased this time is presumed to be the one at the bottom of the diagram.

Interesting, do we happen to know what the missile defense system entails? Lasers are a really finicky idea for the game so I’d imagine we’d need the most powerful available to be of much use.

The laser for countering missiles is currently in the planning stage, while lasers for countering small drones with 10 kW output and for countering UAVs and mortar shells with 100 kW output have been manufactured.
The anti-missile type is expected to receive funding and enter the research and development phase after the completion of the 10 kW class model, likely around 2025 (R7) or later.

Successfully adding ICV P and RCV P additional armor plates on all of their hatches.
Slightly more protection for the crews from top attack, better safe than sorry…
