Great, and airborne version of the laser system tested at White Sands (a joint DoD-IDF project). The DoD-IDF system vaporised multiple katyushas simultaneously.
Any idea what makes the 747 the ideal craft for such a system, as opposed to something lighter and/or faster? Would it likely be range, reliability, or carrying capacity?
This gives us a great advantage against the axis of evil and the enemy of human rights (Russia, China, and France in specific). In the near future, we will see more beam weapons applied on many applications that will make US not just a Super Power, but an "Ultimate Power" of the world. Nothing can overcome weapons with speed of light excluding Tachyons (if it can ever be achieved). However, our country must be aware of espionage of the enemy and enemy noticing the devastating power of beam weapons to build their own. Knowledge and technology of beam weapons should be limited for exports as F/A-22 to keep the superiority against other countries.
