When I was reading the short snippet of an article here.
What is it? I've worked on DEW (directed energy weapon) before at HELSTF: big mucking chemical lasers. The Solid State Lasers from Livermore were just coming in a month or two after I left. I ahve to wonder though what has been around for 20 years for the US military to use?
Talk about piqued interest!
