US Navy sees the 'light'
High-powered lasers that knock cruise missiles and aircraft out of
the
sky, precision-guided projectiles that emerge from the
exoatmosphere at
a speed of M5.0, striking their targets with such force that
explosive
warheads are not required. These are some of the advanced
technologies
senior US Navy (USN) officials believe will equip future warships.
These
capabilities, listed in the navy's new 'Sea Power 21' roadmap, are
within
technical reach this decade, Rear Adm Michael Mathis, commander of
the
Naval Surface Warfare Center, told Jane's Defence Weekly.
