[Excerpted] — The Navy is going to
sea for the first time with a laser attack weapon that has been shown in tests
to disable patrol boats and blind or destroy surveillance drones.
A
prototype shipboard laser will be deployed on a converted amphibious transport
and docking ship in the Persian Gulf…
…The
laser is designed to carry out a graduated scale of missions, from burning
through a fast-attack boat or a drone to producing a nonlethal burst to
“dazzle” an adversary’s sensors and render them useless without causing any
other physical damage....[end]
Majia here: Great business for the DEFENSE CONTRACTORS, which profit from the means of mass destruction and lobby for ever more drones and exotic weaponry.
