Does this laser weapon un-bankrupt the nation, restore its borders/sovereignty and reverse the collapse of society?

I didn’t think so. So it’s worth less than nothing.

[C210N]

Works well melting auto glass, aluminum tire rims.

[Pete from Shawnee Mission]

Sounds like some good EW Countermeasures to things like Drone Swarms which the Chinese and Russians have been developing. The Russians may have already used something like this on one of our destroyers in the Black Sea.

[Billthedrill]

The Air Force should have the advantage here - the Navy version has to work from a ship, but the Air Force version works right from the golf course.

If Raytheon is doing it, you know it will be done before the projected complete date and under budget.

hahahahaha ;-)

Project X

[Owen]

I doubt it will work. High directivity antennas mean narrow beamwidth, in order to get the level of energy up.

Pointing them to a degree or two accuracy likely isn’t going to happen, especially if the target maneuvers. Not gonna require much mass in shielding, either.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Probably building one for the DoJ to use domestically, too. Project X has arrived.

[Theophilus]

$3.50 with a $1B chance of taking out a satellite!

[Sgt_Schultze]

These weapons will be used on StarLink to get Musk back in line.

[EEGator]

Thor, Mjolnir, and chimera.

Is this real?

[Red Badger]

Yes................

[FrdmLvr]

That’s what they used in Maui.

[BenLurkin]

They should have gone with Grabthar’s Hammer instead.

Obama and Big Mike can’t wait to turn this weapon on normal Americans
