It will be a new era for top guns: Air Force bosses have boasted combat
lasers will be fitted to fighters planes 'very soon' and have revealed a full
scale prototype is being built.
'I believe we'll have a directed energy pod we can put on a fighter plane
very soon,' Air Force General Hawk Carlisle has claimed at the Air Force
Association Air & Space conference in a presentation on what he called
Fifth-Generation Warfare, according to Ars
Technica.
'That day is a lot closer than I think a lot of people think it is.'
The US Navy has already deployed a laser weapon at sea aboard the USS Ponce,
capable of a range of attacks against small boats, drones, and light aircraft
posing a threat, by blinding sensors or operators or heating elements to make
them fail or explode.
Other laser weapons are also being tested by the Office of Naval Research for
use on helicopters to protect against man-portable anti aircraft missiles.
Directed-energy weapons pods could be affixed to aircraft to destroy or
disable incoming missiles, drones, and even enemy aircraft at a much lower 'cost
per shot' than missiles or even guns, Carlisle suggested.
The front runner for the Air Force system is believed to be called the
High-Energy Liquid Laser Area Defense System (HELLADS), and will create a laser
small enough to be mounted on a plane, and is expected to be ready for use by
2020.
General Atomics, the firm making, it, has revealed a full scale system is
already under construction following tests.

"... It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings."....I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"

HELLADS TO BE MOUNTED ON AIRFORCE FIGHTER JETS ALONG WITH THE NAVY AND ARMY OPENING CAPABILITY TO TARGET THE ENEMY WITH THE 150KW LASER EVEN DRONES–AS ITS TARGET FOR DEPLOYMENT TO BE IN 2020–AS THE FUTURISTIC TIE FIGHTER AND X-WING FIGHTER IS REALIZED IN THE 21ST CENTURY–BUT THEN WHEN THE ENEMY IS SEPARATED BY TWO OCEANS THE PACIFIC AND ATLANTIC ARE NO LONGER THE CASE WHEN THE ENEMY IS BROUGHT THROUGH OPEN BORDERS BY THE PROGRESSIVE AND DEMOCRATS POLICY OF APPEASEMENT
