these will become more and more common in static locations like the white house and airports. terrorists and hostile nations would benefit greatly from getting 1 lb of RDX in front of a 747 just before landing 200 feet up.
The problem is the lifelong blinding of other people in office buildings when the attacker is low on the horizon. (or lasing up the aircraft your trying to protect.) And for this specific naval application, the NAVY likes ship-board weapons systems to survive near misses from 500lbs warheads. optics of this type i suspect would not. dwell time would, as the article suggests, is the real question.
once i get the props, and large quad 20km kickstarter finished, id like to investigate ultra-high power lasers presumably electric arc
...that just reminded me of james may , dazzle camouflage documentary a while ago . war ships had weird paint jobs that arent blending into environment but optical illusions .
back to laser , I find it strange how today a person can think its ok to shine a $2 shop laser pointer at the cockpit of a plane , still happens here in nz .
some peole are missing some thing and unfortunate for the rest of us , one cant simply get IT from any where

These are still illegal under international law. People no longer regularly nuke places for the same reasons. Additionally, there are serious ethical implications of escalating directed energy weapons technology. America has a public image problem, and the perceived strategic deterrent will assuredly create more problems than it can solve. Although the majority of people agree blinding/burning people is wrong, there may be additional problems as is actually written doctrine in some religions that this type of war is prohibited without exception.

medusa, active denial, they always choose great names. The wartime profiteering with companies like Lockheed using programs like the F-22, should be considered theft from the American treasury.

Indeed, both the early Nazi-party members and Japanese-emperor never considered Eisenstein's ideas would end the war, and create hundreds of other problems in the past century. Accordingly, I doubt such an individual would hold a country that force feeds prisoners though their anus in high regard.
Wasn't one theory about Tesla's death related to his claims made about such a beam-device while falling into derangement.
