waiting for the point when they just say "what are we even doing anymore?" when they realise they're wasting all their time, effort, money, and mental wellbeing on shooty-explody toys.

Its about damn time!

I started working on the atmospheric compensation experiment as a Space Shuttle Payload Engineer back in 1983.

At that time, Rocketdyne had put about $100M into chemical laser research.

In the SDI (Star Wars) program we had solid state lasers, chem lasers, free electron lasers, and nuke-pumped lasers (last one did not work).

We really need to do something to push the bureaucracy out of the way and get weapons fielded faster.

Drones have become important.

Even if they can just take out drones, that is good.


However, automated targeting systems -- that is probably what was in control in this demo -- I don't think missiles or planes is that far-fetched.

A few years ago the US army demonstrated battlefield lasers engaging incoming artillery rounds with good results. The lasers were hooked up to generators about the size of tanks.
