Lockheed delivering 58 kW laser weapon to US military

When you got a photon torpedo let me know. I'll take burst over beam any day.

200 billion spent for garbage tech that doesn't work

Revelation 13:12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

I expect this thing will be an overhyped limited use boondoggle like the F-22 and F-35.

the navy will use it to warm up hotdogs .

shred em in new ways too. whatever. 5*

As long as arses are chawed and/or charred. That's all we're looking forward to: More you tube night vision, mid-Goat, shredded-arse videos. ya see.

laser schmaser, all you need is a mirror.

8. Simplest thing of all, multiple concurrent attacks as are done now overwhelm the defensive system and two or three might get intercepted but the rest hit target.

Why do they put a sky full of chemtrails in their "mockup" pic??? Seems bizarre.

Could have a lot of fun with the cats with that thing.

Good One!!!

Unholy sh*t, 

Do you realize how strong a 58kw laser beam is?

....talk about burning the nuts off Super Man...

"In the coming months, I have a lot of crazy stuff planned."

Hahaha!

High-Energy Laser (HEL)

They would need multiple lasers, on a ship, similar to Anti-Aircraft guns to defeat multiple inbound targets...

Why don't they come up with a highly directional EMP pulse weapon. Fire it in a 10-20 degree aperture and anything within that field, up to 10 miles, would have its electronics destroyed. So its a fire and forget platform and move on to the next target. It would be a lot better than a laser that has to lock onto the target in order to destroy it....

Doesn't the Air Force have a missile that can destroy electronics using microwave frequencies....

You didn't see him pop the trunk:

Look closely at 1:42 you can see it.

BS, laser weapons are a joke, require massive capacitor banks or massive chemical tanks to power, not deep magazine like they say, traditional ordinance works great and is 100s of times cheaper, this is just your military industrial complex marketing more scams to yoru politicians who will give them billions of your tax dolalrs to create weapons to use against you.

laser weapons are a scam to extract more billions of tax dollars for the military contractors. Anyone with a brain and two seconds of thinking knows laser weapons dont work and are rendered useless with a cheap polished mirror surface

When has the military in our 230 year history attacked our civilian population?

Ate too many green brownies...

thought it said

Lockness Monster gives Leprochauns to O'mallory

happy St Patricks Day, poor O'mallory though, Leprochauns have issues.

Whoops

We have it. One is called Theraphi.net

Idk, those are also the same shapes on every single space agency logo around the world.

I think it's the shape of a inter-dimensional alien space craft.

Missiles have always rotated in flight. Cruise missiles don't since they use wings to create lift, but most missiles spin.
