Laser weapons seem to be all the rage these days. For instance, there is the German turret technology that boasts of near limitless power.U.S. Navy sailors inspect AGM-65 Maverick air-to-surface tactical missiles and laser-guided-bomb units on the flight deck of the USS Enterprise.A green laser pointer gun is seen on display at the Oerlikon stand during the Defence and Security Exhibition 2015 at the ExCel convention center in London.But laser weapons are not a distant prospect. Under ONR's Solid-State Laser-Technology Maturation program.

Fortunately, we can usually make a good guess on the type of laser used by any system.Firing a deadly laser beam from a warship, for instance, required a powerful generator and a battery or capacitor capable of storing and discharging such high energy rapidly, the researcher said.It states that it is prohibited to employ laser weapons specifically designed to cause permanent blindness to unenhanced vision like the naked eye.Beijing's efforts to harness laser weapons technology began in the 1960s.

The report says that to some extent China still lags behind the United States in Red Laser Pointer technology.A laser which could shoot quickly down or disable a cruise or ballistic missile would be a huge tactical achievement.In reviewing the information about laser development in these links.Currently in the world, Russia's leading position in the laser theory, laser weapons, the United States and Israel are leading the application.Laser radar can detect targets at the moment directly after its destruction!
