This is the world's first active laser weapon.
The U.S. Navy's Laser Weapons System blasts colossal amounts of photons at the speed of light directly a target obliterating it.
The laser operates as part of the electromagnetic spectrum that is entirely invisible to the human eye.
The advantages allow for never seen before stealth and speed. For now the fully operational laser will take out small targets.
Dangerous scary stuff.
If it can obliterate large targets, then it could end up becoming a weapon of mass destruction. With the current state of political affairs around the globe, this definitely scares me.

It's cool but scares the shit out of me. I'm sure it will only be used for peaceful operations. Maybe not.

Agreed. In the hands of the wrong person this is frightening. Maybe the US military is not the right person.
