Deathray 2007

Hat tip to the Belmont Club for this story in Popular Mechanics about Boeing's vehicle-mounted death ray.

OK, not a death ray exactly. Boeing has tested the device in the role of detonating IEDs. Pics other than the one below show the energy weapon disrupting a UAV. Laser antiaircraft defense sounds like a potentially devastating strategy.

Nifty story. Click on the link over the photos and give it a read.
