Defense technology has always interested me, as has science fiction. I grew up on "laser gun" science fiction. It appears to be getting very close to reality now, with the recent tests by Raytheon agains UAV's.

The article points out a number of the problems with the technology but also indicates that this is a major step forward. Let us hope that it doesn't fall into the hands of the Taliban or any of the Al Qaeda linked groups that are often the targets of our UAV's.
