[BLANK] WITH FRICKEN LASER BEAMS: Army Wants High-Energy Laser Weapons It Can Put On ‘Any Vehicle In The Motorpool.’ “The U.S. Army is pursuing a family of modular and scalable laser directed energy weapons that can be fitted to any vehicle in its inventory. The service sees this as key to expanding the operational use of lasers, particularly to provide an extra layer of defense against drone threats, and outside of dedicated units. The Army is already fielding high-energy lasers operationally on a limited basis, including along the border wth Mexico, but the technology has faced continued hurdles to more widespread use in recent years.”

Look, nobody said putting lasers on any vehicle in the motorpool was going to be easy. That doesn’t mean it isn’t worthwhile.
