He said the "solid-state laser is a big step forward to revolutionizing modern warfare with directed energy, just as gunpowder did in the era of knives and swords.
What is really cool:

“"Our conservative data tells us a shot of directed energy costs under $1," Klunder explained. "Compare that to the hundreds of thousands of dollars it costs to fire a missile, and you can begin to see the merits of this capability."”

It's the same lazer they announced a couple years back. The only difference is that they're pointing it at Drones now as apposed to just sea and land targets.

Air Force gets the "Lazer"

Navy gets the Hyper-velocity Rail Guns

I hear the army is working with the brilliant Doctor Alan Parsons on a Project.
