I agree on laser weapons being more developed than most people realize. I’m particularly surprised with the re-fire capability. Not quite up to the make-believe level like in Star Wars, but it’s a lot faster than I thought it would be.

And I’m also surprised at how little power is needed. For years I thought they’d have to be land based or ship based. But now we put them on airplanes and trucks.

The nerds in Huntsville, AL are truly remarkable.

Obama cancelled (chemical laser) and we are developing the ABL, is short-range and the Tac Laser is too big for truck and is an airborne weapon (C-130)
