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.
