Boeing Tests Laser Avenger

November 14th 2007 14:50
Laser Avenger Mounted Humvee

Laser Shooting unmanned Aerial Drone



It sounds like something out of a 60s sci-fi show of sorts, Boeing's latest efforts involves putting a ridiculously large laser blaster on a humvee with the simple intention of blowing up road side bombs. Sure it could be useful, but it also sticks out like a sore thumb.

All the bulk we have here produces a one centimetre thick laser beam which is capable of creating heat twenty times hotter than a stove. It can burn through mortar rounds and unmanned aerial drones but sadly we'll have to wait a long time before it's small enough to hold.

You have to admit, if it works and were scaled down in size, they might be on to something. Otherwise, any fool with a finger on a button would look to take this target out, quickly.

Raven, I think the use of that thing in a real combat situation would be next to nothing. easy to shoot and slow to move. All that sensitive equipment could easily get busted.

But yeah, if they can shrink it down to star wars laser size we could be onto something, until then...

Wonder if it would melt Hillary's cold, hard heart.
