Laser Weapons finishes Testing
Sure the Military is looking to use directed energy weapons in a an offensive role on the battle scene, but we're also concerned about protecting our commercial airliners. Lockheed Martin has completed testing of its missile defense system that is supposed to direct a high energy laser to protect America's commercial airliners from attack.
My only concern now is that when this laser is fired, and some of this "high powered laser" inevitably reflects and refracts and leaks are we going to have people on the ground getting getting burned skin and retinas?
