Boeing's Truck-Mounted Laser Weapon Ready for Production

Now all we need are sharks and we are in business

I still want Death Blossom.

They need to put that into an attachment for the iphone, then we can have the ilaser!

lol

C&C here we come

Islam and Sharia Law are taking over the lands in modern Europe as you read this. Make the stand today and educate yourself on this dire matter!

Lol the Ilaser!!!!

R&D programs for HEMTT A4 = 50 - 60 million

Full development to U.S. Military = 100 Billion

Getting the hell blown out of you by a laser while your planning a terrorist attack = priceless

This will be great for the upcoming alien attack.

This is close to being a nuclear shield tool - something Putin cannot allow to be put on the battlefield. This likely will be one of the "giveaways" from Obama to Putin. Putin is a much tougher negotiator than Obamarama.

"Surely we'll soon witness the epic laser wars we've all been anxiously awaiting."

You all do realize that you are talking about shooting someone with a laser to kill them (you know, mother and father lose a son, brothers and sisters lose a brother, a friend is never seen again).

Not so sure yet another way to destroy each other is what we've ALL been anxiously awaiting. Thanks for the glorification of war which shows you're some dork that's stayed away from any of that "real life" you've read about on your computer.

just goes to show that hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side

Hi - seriously this list of comments literally hit upon every single joke one could make here. I mean we went all out on this one. Corporatehipster got my last option. Good work everyone.

The only twist here is that lasers shoot up and forward, they can't arc like rockets or cannons. There's only one reason for truck mounted lasers...up and straight. Would you mount it on something like a scissor-jack or maybe a cherry picker like contraption so that you can get a better angle?

Put this thing on a multi-target system and you could just have it sit there and fire single pulses through anything and literally obliterate an enemy in as fast as it takes for the gun to swivel without a single ounce of pollution (shells, lead from bullets, depleted uranium, unexploded ordinance, "mines"). Actually couldn't it pulse an entire field and destroy mines? It's the ultimate in roadside ied removal. Can't wait for the demos.

Could Lasers be the first "green" weapon. And I bet its even quiet - no "kaboom". Just a buzz and then viola. Hollywood added the noise in movies. Imagine a "quiet" war.

... A green weapon. A weapon that destroys human lives but not the envirnment. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No bomb explosions or anything, just a quick, quiet death. BEAUTIFUL. By the way, what if some terrorist was shaving and you fire a laser beam at it and hits the mirror, bounces back and hits you instead. Oh well, at least we're saving the enviornment.

la_king - I know, it would be great if the world could just hug it out but we don't. The simple fact is that we kill each other in wars. We might as well not pollute the battleground at the same time. Wars end but the scars on the landscape tend to last for lifetimes. If we can reduce casualties with such a precision weapon then it's a start. War is like cancer - focus on the tumor without destroying the entire body and you save the patient. Laser weapons are a start towards that path.

As for combating terrorism - build schools, pave roads, and build homes. Lasers don't stop terrorism. Infrastructure does.

Beantown, actually a truck-mounted laser system *is* being developed in order to combat IEDs and also to assist in demining operations both during combat and in post-war missions.

@beantown179
dont forget the screams of horror at the spontainiously exploding heads of terrorists

@otoko
errr... they can't scream because:

1. They wont have a head to make screams

2. They would be killed in an instant

3. You mean yells, right? The only way that they can scream like a girl is when you point the laser at their nuts.

Must remember that it's not a Blasting Laser, it's a Cutting/burning Laser. It would be more like Light Saber damage.

Tangos' walking down the street talking about who he's gonna blow up next and he just stops for a sec, and splits apart like a hot dog that's been boiling too long. Talk about the Shock and Awe approach to qwell the violence. You Could just spin it like it was divine intervention.

Sounds kinda like the Calliope from Hammer's Slammers series, which was an Anti-aircraft, Anti-weapon hovercraft with 6 laser barrels. 'Cept that Hammer's Slammers was first printed... in the 70s & 80s?

We are definitely going to witness the epic wars in next few years as the competition of creating war weapons has made the people crazy. Hope they are used for the betterment of humanities not for the politics. I am just wondering that just like the other truck traders of commercial trucks, where these war machine truck traders are located?

Lasers that powerful aren't reflected by mirrors. Lasers like that turn mirrors into molten glass and metal.

All we need now is to equip soldiers with jet packs and super-human robot arms and legs...

Oh wait - we've already got that. God bless America, right?

Ce chiffre est proche d'être un outil bouclier nucléaire - quelque chose de Poutine ne peut pas permettre que soient mis sur le champ de bataille. Ce sera probablement l'un des "cadeaux" d'Obama à Poutine. Poutine est un négociateur beaucoup plus difficile que Obamarama.
