“One company is looking
beyond the missile-based weaponry of today to unmanned drones
equipped with high energy lasers, a technology that may be just a few
years away, [...] General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, based in San
Diego, has begun developing a new type of drone that will be equipped
with a high-powered 150 kilowatt laser.”
“The company is receiving
private funding for the project and estimates that the drone will
become a reality by 2017, [...] GA-ASI is known more for its role in
providing the government aerial drones to assist in targeted strikes
and surveillance.”
“However, the company has
also developed laser technology and has given the Pentagon access to
a liquid laser system, [...] GA-ASI is now starting to test a solid
version of the laser tech.”
