An agreement between Boeing and U.S. Air Force has resulted in a laser weapon capable of … well, I would like to say operate a car from miles above .. but nothing like Hollywood, at least not yet. What they can and with great certainty, is set on fire inside a box no more than 50 cm in length. To sample the following video.

I would not like to think what could that be able to do to a person, but it sure would cause serious injuries. This project of more than $ 200 billion was held in August this year but due to his success was revealed this amazing video. The idea is to use this aircraft as a defense mechanism designed to transport personnel and logistics, as the C-130H Hercules

But I do not think being the only one he can think of other applications, not so defensive that is said. From the border to control future preventive wars, finally, we have always shown using imagination to destructive projects. A step closer to Star Wars? Finally, another video including the view from the plane toward the target. More information about this project here.
