Will they burn though aluminum foil?
Yes easily. This is neither the first fielding of laser systems nor an impressive one. There are 50kW systems that burn through incoming artillery shells, drone rated lasers are 15 kW for all chassis.
It's not a secret either, you can literally look up Raytheon's brochure.
