I might be wrong regarding range, after watching this gMfYUyrKRng They broke the beam into 6 separate beams, which can be focused on a target much like what we do with magnifying glasses. That nullifies some issues like you can bring 6 50kW laser and deliver at least 100kW ( 6*50 gives us 300kW but ...

NRao sir, what these guys never disclose is range which remains classified, even if we assume say range 100kms (don't know about CEP though), these Directed energy weapons could effectively replace CIWS guns (Close In Weapon system) but there bulkiness is a issue, I remember Airborne LASER which bot...
