My computer science teacher in high school was a sailor in the Soviet Navy. He alluded to something like this being used. That would have been in the min 90s or so. At that point we weren't part of the empire so he probably didn't care about keeping the secrets about it.
- dfc 10y agoThe article mentions an article from 1990 in the Soviet military magazine "Naval Collection."
- rdtsc 10y agoYap, saw it. The way he talked about it sounded more like a "it already works in practice this way" vs "it could work in theory". But I maybe misremembering, it was a long time ago.
- bazzargh 10y agoMy a lecturer in the office next to mine was working on this stuff around 1990/91 (we were in the theory section of the Physics Dept of the University of Glasgow.) I'm not sure it came to anything, he described the theory behind it to me when he was working on the grant application; these sort of side-project applications went on all the time. At this distance in time, my memory of it is no more than what's in the article anyway, so it's not like I have secrets to tell.
