this is the beginning of the laser beam era.

this is merely a 'practical' application that allows them to play with the targeting systems while they work on making the lasers tight enough to do real damage in a meaningful role. disarming bombs and shooting down remote controled aircraft is just a hook to get funding for the research, right? so, yeah, tw...a solution looking for a problem. so that it can survive and grow into a big soution looking for a big problem.

remember Real Genius? when they filled the prof's house with popcorn and cooked it with a laser from space? we could do that!
