原文：

The newest weapon in the Navy's arsenal is a laser dazzler that can stymie enemy drones threatening surface ships. The system was installed aboard the USS Dewey last November, but not announced until this week.

Called Optical Dazzling Interdictor, Navy, or ODIN, the system is the technological successor of the Laser Weapons System, or LaWS, a 30-kilowatt laser installed on the amphibious transport dock Ponce in 2014. The ship conducted experiments in the Persian Gulf before the Ponce returned home for decommissioning in 2017; LaWS in its current form was never fielded. The capabilities and specifications of ODIN have been closely guarded.

中譯：

雷射炫目系統是美國海軍兵工廠的最新武器，可以阻撓對水面艦艇造成威脅的敵方無人機。去年11月，這套系統即安裝在杜威號驅逐艦上，但直到本週，才公布此一訊息。

全名為「海軍光學炫目攔截器」的系統，又稱「奧丁」－眾神之王，技術師承雷射武器系統。2014年在龐賽號兩棲船塢運輸艦上所安裝的雷射武器系統，已具有30千瓦雷射功率，直至該艦於2017年返航除役前，均在波斯灣海域進行系統測試。當前新式雷射武器系統「奧丁」尚未正式登場，其各項能力與規格，均高度保密。
