Will the Pentagon have their Weapons-grade Electric Laser this year?
The question asks about deliver of the Weapons-grade electric laser. Northop Grumman only said they'd hit two more milestones towards this goal by end Dec 2008: "We are completely confident we will meet the 100 kW of power level and associated beam quality and run time requirements of the JHPSSL Phase 3 program by the end of December, 2008,". Either the starting odds are out, or the question should be rephrased. Very interesting topic, question just needs a bit of editing.
Background:
"We are completely confident we will meet the 100 kW of power level and associated beam quality and runtime requirements of the JHPSSL Phase 3 program by the end of December, 2008," Bob Bishop, a Northrop Grumman spokesman, tells Defense Daily.
