As a nonlethal weapon system, ODIN is designed not to kill and destroy, but instead, blind and break. The laser is meant to zap electro-optical sensors, like digital video cameras and infrared cameras, aboard drones, preventing remote operators from guiding them and using the cameras to gather intelligence. Even relatively low powered lasers can permanently damage camera sensors, as seen here: This content is imported from YouTube.

HELIOS, on the other hand, is a considerably more powerful laser with bigger ambitions. The weapon can blind camera sensors like ODIN, but the Navy hopes it’s powerful enough to destroy incoming cruise missiles.

RIVERDALE, Md. – The Navy continues to learn more about a pair of directed energy weapons, as the service installs the fourth and fifth dazzler system this year and begins land-based testing of a high-energy laser weapon, the program executive officer for integrated warfare systems told USNI News.
The Navy has been in parallel working on an Optical Dazzling Interdictor, Navy (ODIN) program, a nonlethal weapon that can confuse instead of shoot down drones, which will become part of the High Energy Laser and Integrated Optical-dazzler and Surveillance (HELIOS) program that Lockheed Martin has been developing since 2018.
