Keep in mind this technology is over a decade old, who knows what they could do now?
It's my understanding is that it's kind of three lasers in one. The first heats the atmosphere to overcome any degradation and attenuation of the firing laser, and also allows the targeting laser to be "on target". To go one step further, there has been some advancement in particle beam technology as well.The power needed to have a potent laser cross spatial distances and then 100km or so of atmosphere make this implausible for the time being, no?
Because, of course, we always know who are the bad guys and who are the good guys. I read that weaponising space rocks as kinetic energy weapons was on the agenda again. And so the astronauts become the cave men.
You'd really enjoy a film called: Real Genius with Val Kilmer.Remember that US Air Force plane with the laser onboard?
