Engineers at Northrop Grumman Corp.'s Redondo Beach facility produced the strongest laser powered by an electric current, the company said Wednesday.

The laser produced a light beam measured at more than 105 kilowatts.

The laser demonstration was part of the final phase of a six-year, $98 million Department of Defense contract to develop high-powered lasers that can eventually be used in combat.
