“Wait, this is the future. Where are the ray guns?”

Hamburger?

They’ll need laser weapons - multiples - to counter a swarm of incoming cruise missiles traveling at Mach 2 or better

Better be a lot of capacitors to store up that much energy

I think the article mentioned this potential technology. Instead of Ray or Laser Guns to shoot down hypersonic missiles, etc...an electronic shield, sort of like the force fields in Star Trek, sounds crazy but AI and some other technologies being talked about are SciFi as well.

Imagine a force field that fries anything electronic that passes thru, regardless of fast it’s going, the electronics will be fried and self-destruct or fly off course.

Where are the ray guns?

These hucksters have promised all kinds of weapons for more than a century.
