The U.S. Navy plans to mount a high-powered microwave prototype system on one of its vessels as early as 2026, according to the Navy’s Fiscal Year 2025 budget documents.

The system will come from the Navy’s Project METEOR, which is developing a directed energy weapon system prototype that the service plans to integrate on ships in 2026.

METEOR will “provide capability with low cost-per-shot, deep magazine, tactically significant range, short time engagement for multi-target approach, dual deception and defeat capability,” according to the budget documents.

      U.S. Navy Says Its Next Nuclear Attack Submarine Will Be the Deadliest Ever Built. Its Own Track Record Says Don’t Count on It

      The SSN(X) is supposed to be the deadliest attack submarine ever — Seawolf’s firepower, Virginia’s stealth, Columbia’s endurance in one hull. It’s also slipped to 2040, could cost $8.7 billion each, and is being designed by a yard base that can’t build the current Virginia class on schedule. The Navy’s recent record on new ship classes says be skeptical.

      CFL/ACFLs - June 17, 2026

      CFL/ACFLs, - Get Your PFA Scores In. The end of official Navy PFA Cycle-1 2026 is approaching (30 JUN 26). As prescribed in Guide-7, CFL/ACFLs have 30 days following the completion of the Navy’s PFA Cycle to enter PFA data. - Recent PRIMS System Updates: “Fitness Assessments”/“Fitness Tests” in Contact Records. These terms have replaced “PFA” within Sailor contact records. This system-wide change supports data entry for the PFA and Combat Fitness Assessment (CFA) required for combat arms personnel. Medical Waiver Entry Causing PFA to Show “Incomplete”. A system bug is causing newly entered PFA data with a medical waiver to display as "Incomplete", regardless of the order that medical waiver is entered. We anticipate the issue will be resolved with next system update on 2 Jul. Cycle-1 2026 PFA Record Visibility Issue. Some CFLs continue to experience a sporadic issue in which they are unable to view Cycle-1 2026 PFA record for certain Sailors. While we continue to investigate the issue, we request that you complete the following troubleshooting steps, then create an MNCC case detailing the outcome: Step-1: Is the Sailor gained to the UIC? (Yes or No) Step-2: Is the Sailor gained into a Dept and/or Division? (Yes or No) Step-3: Transfer the affected Sailor and regain them strictly to the UIC. Can you see them now? If YES: Proceed to Step-4. If NO: Stop here. Email the CFL DODID, Sailor(s) DODID(s), and UIC(s) to askmncc@us.navy.mil and indicate that Step-3 failed. Step-4: Add the member to the required Dept. Can you see them now? If YES: Proceed to Step-5. If NO: Stop here. Email the CFL DODID, Sailor(s) DODID(s), UIC, and Dept to askmncc@us.navy.mil and indicate that Step-4 failed. Step-5: Add the member to the required Division. Can you see them now? If YES: Issue resolved (Good to go). If NO: Stop here. Email the CFL DODID, Sailor(s) DODID(s), UIC, and Division to askmncc@us.navy.mil and indicate that Step-5 failed. - PRIMS LOC Requests. Errors on LOC submissions are rising. CFL/ACFLs should use the form templates available under the “Forms” tab to ensure accuracy.
