The Air Force is reportedlydeveloping a high-powermicrowave weapon thatcan be carried internally onthe F-35 Joint StrikeFighter.Several companies aredeveloping laser weaponsthat could be deployedon the ubiquitousC-130 transport.A palletized laser could bedeployed on the V-22Osprey tiltrotor aircraftfor employment in a widearray of operations.47
A ground-mobile tacticallaser could intercept artilleryrounds, rockets and otherfast-moving munitions.Space-based lasers would bewell-suited to interceptionof intercontinental ballisticmissiles in their vulnerable“boost” phase.Pentagon plans envisiondeploying directed-energyweapons on many differentmilitary platforms.48
