Know why this is released to the public? Because the work is garbage. And it wasn’t cheap to do it either. Just see what it costs to purchase a KM Labs Dragon laser system. At any one time, there’s a huge amount of military research done at scattered, small labs. A guy gets good at writing contract proposals. He hangs out a shingle and gets a $250k-$1M contract. He hires some down-in-their-luck laser physicist(s) or the equivalent who had weak thesis topics, or who want to learn how to do this business themselves. A few people make nice salaries. The work is quickly forgotten. Rinse and repeat.
