UK’s powerful laser weapon in action hits aerial targets for the first time


​

DragonFire is a laser-directed energy weapon (LDEW) with an operating cost of less than £10 ($13) per shot, making it much cheaper than conventional missiles. It is designed as a line-of-sight system with a classified range. Firing it for 10 seconds is equivalent to using a heater for an hour. It could be a long-term alternative for some air defense tasks that rely on expensive ammunition.

 

Back in 2003 I worked for an agency that built such a thing. Still not allowed to talk about it, but then again nobody will likely go out of their way to tell me it's OK to talk about. But yeah, us Yanks have been developing the same thing. Heck, there might even be a YouTube on it by now.

 

These Massive Tunnels Were Dug by Ancient Sloths as Big as Elephants

Everyone likes the lasers because they look cool in movies and demos, until your life depends on it. That's when you press the missile/bullet button instead of laser.

"Indeed, a ship’s captain must be free to use whichever weapons keep the ship and crew safe, multiple retired surface warfare officers told Navy Times."

If you need pain control for things like osteoarthritis, it's IMO much better (where it's legal) than opiates.

 

Human-powered aircraft: A plane with ‘impossible engineering’ and no engine

​

The new undertaking of SUHPA is called Super Lazarus which has the same wingspan of 78 foot (24 meters) but its weight has been decreased to 83 pounds (38 kilograms). Earlier this year, the team also participated in another HPA event, called the Icarus Cup, organized by the British Human Powered Flying Club (BHPFC).

 

"The Habu"

Still one of the coolest things ever, to watch one take off at Kadena and then to see the signals reports as it makes the Soviet border run as they try to track it.
