How many targets could these hit at once? I imagine it will take a significantly non-zero length of time to hit and heat each shell with the laser, so to get past the lasers you need to know the average airtime of your shells, the number of lasers, and the amount of time it takes to kill each shell.
I mean, that would dramatically change warfare, but I don't think it is making anything moot.
- ChuckMcM 13y agoThis has been the single largest problem with the program to date, how often you can fire and how quickly you can acquire a target. Early tests with chemical lasers were basically one shot every 10 to 15 minutes. These lasers are better than that, but they still have duty cycle limits which makes it possible to just overwhelm them.
