The threats from laser guns have finally come. Using the ‘Boeing Advanced Tactical Laser’ US Air Force NC-130H airplane can burns the crap out of a truck with a small target on it. Think of all the fun you could have burning random people running on the ground.
This video shows the effect of the high-energy laser beam from the Boeing Advanced Tactical Laser (ATL), fired at a stationary truck from a US Air Force NC-130H (Hercules) flying over White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, on August 30, 2009. The ATL is a chemical oxygen iodine laser (COIL), and is a scaled-down version of the megawatt-class high-energy laser in the Boeing YAL-1 Airborne Laser (ABL).
