Interesting thought experiment. Some questions:
- couldn’t the submarine have some sort of extendable trunk to avoid the loss of laser energy in water? Basically a much longer periscope?
- the RASER principle seems to be much easier to deploy from space, where large dishes are simple to deploy, potentially offsetting reactor cooling disadvantages, and mitigate the protective effect of water?
- are 10-20 Meters of water really enough to protect against kinetic weapons?
- fooblaster 2y agoI think this article undersells the size of the antenna needed to focus a powerful radio source into a distant target.
