Would it be safe to assume why the Army specifications require a 300kW laser so that able to deliver necessary power of ~> 24 kJ per sq cm for 3 or more seconds at 4 to 5 km range to be an effective C-RAM system, further assumption the Army 50 kW and Navy 60 kW lasers only capable of delivering 4 to 5 kJ power to take out Class 1 and 2 plastic UAVs at 4 to 5 km. PS Of interest Air Force investing in UAVs controlled by AI Hivemind autonomy, think controlled expendable kamikaze UAVs might be a cheaper option than expensive lasers to take out enemy drones using the cheap sophisticated sensors developed by Google etc at cost of $ billions for self driving cars, other pluses they would still operate in bad weather, cloud cover etc whereas lasers can't and use limited power not creating IR target for counter fire. Kamikaze UAVs reminds me of why the first a/c fighters were developed in WWI to counter and take out balloons and the first a/c used for artillery targeting, spotting.https://breakingdefense.com/2022/02/shield-ai-to-work-on-swarming-drones-autonomous-rotorcraft-for-air-force/
