I want one. This is just what I need to get me over the 14th St Bridge every morning from Virginia.

Years ago (over two decades), I went to the science center in Toronto where they had a laser demonstration. The woman demonstrating the lasers swore that lasers could never be turned into useful weapons...

Zeus-HLONS will remain on the sidelines until someone decides it's important enough to spend money on and adopt as another item of equipment.

Ask any EOD types if it’s important.

"Using the Zeus laser is a lot cheaper (a few cents per laser shot)"
"However, Zeus is currently stuck in development because no one in the army wants to "own" it and pay for manufacturing it."

These two statements do not add up. There are a lot of fixed costs up front and probably a good size maintenance bill that brings that cost per shot well more than pennies.

That said, a system like this sounds like a darn good idea. Even if it cost more than the current method, keeping our guys that much further away from danger is worth it.

"Use diesel full to generate the beam." I assume they mean to run the power supply.

If it works on munitions, land mines, etc., it should work equally well on terrorist car bombers and truck bombers.

I hope they come up with a hand-held home defense model.

Puts a whole new meaning into the phrase "Homeland Security."
