There are several US Navy ships in active service that are trialing directed energy point defense systems. There is movement. We just don’t announce it like Russia and China do, because keeping adversaries guessing is more important than bragging rights.

They've been talking about those trials and pre-trials for many years, probably over a decade at this point.

Everything I've heard is they still haven't figured out how to do it effectively on a ship. Stationary land based would probably be easier though as that removes the size/power restrictions.
