Apparently, the the artillery development budget for the US Navy is bursting at the seams, as the branch is complimenting the myriad of other dazzling weapons that it’s collaboratively developing with a LGE-based rendition from Ionatron. The company, which focuses on developing “directed energy weapons,” has recently landed a contract just shy of $10 million in order to “fund the development of an advanced Ultra Short Pulse Laser, physics modeling related to laser guided energy requirements, a transportable demonstrator, and effects testing.” The firm’s website compares its devices to that of “man-made lightning,” useful in disabling “people or vehicles that threaten our security.” Moreover, it was noted that both lethal and non-lethal versions are available, but we’ve no idea when this literal lightning in a bottle will end up hitting the test floor (or some poor sap’s torso) in Los Alamos.
