How dangerous is a laser beam of 105.5 kW? Its not measured in Doc Brown’s jigawats, so Im really lost.

Dangerous? VERY. Able to remotely detonate a mortar round in flight, which is one of the first uses this thing is being setup to do.

But even Boeing, one of the technology's most vociferous advocates, seems a bit dubious on the awesome factor for battlefield energy weapons, bragging: "...the system also took a step toward demonstrating a counter-unmanned aerial vehicle capability by destroying two small unmanned aerial vehicles that were stationary on the ground.""

So far, this is all I found about it...

100 kW x 1,000 = One hundred thousand watts.

It's the benchmark for the planned solid state lasers that will be installed in the F-35 stealth fighters.

a 100 milliwatt laser will cleanly cut 20 lb bond white paper at about 1 inch per second. 105.5 KW would be 1000000 times more powerful.

It would depend on the wavelength of the output. Your red laser pointer is 630 nanometer wavelength and 5 milliwatts. I milliwatt white light laser can weld thin metal. I would believe 10 kilowatt laser would be able to vaporize significant portions of the target at 100 yards
