You can shoot the moon and get the reflection. It is all in the quality
of signal beam. It is parallel light.

They were developed for subs to shoot out an optic and cut the waterline
or hit the magazine. All sorts of tricky stuff.

These are not the simple ones you hold. These are large units.

I knew a guy working on them in a puff plane. That type. They used
a 707 since they were cheap and could use newer engines for more power.

The coolant tank was baffled to prevent waves while flying. The baffles
broke down and the plane was having problems with shifting center of
gravity. Kinda dangerous.

Battle ships were fitted as well.

ICBM's are rather fragile things and I think a laser could do some
damage. An A-10 is a tank buster, what can a laser do to 10" plus of
armor plate?

500LB laser guided bombs might be the replacemnet for an A-10. They
did use these in the gulf war for killing tanks.

I thought that lasers only operate at a small radius, under a few
miles.

It takes an ICBM a few seconds to fly that distance.

The cannon as I recall was intended for ICBM intercept. MIRV bodies...
The cannon is likely very close to the one I consulted about with
the R&D/E company as they needed a fanout buffer and we had a good one.
I developed a level shifter to get to the logic (non-standard) levels
of the barrels in the R&D gun.

decided to drop the A-10 Warthog:
