The XEV9 is an armament on [[Sahara-class heavy prowler|''Sahara''-class heavy prowlers]] like the {{UNSCShip|Aladdin}}. Pulse laser weaponry has been mounted on [[UNSC prowler]]s as early as [[2531]].<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 50''</ref> This is likely an independent UNSC development rather than reverse engineering of Covenant technology, as early versions of pulse laser technology were available to [[human]]ity as early as 1960, and in weaponized form by the early 21st century.
