Without getting into sensitive areas this is not really new from a planning and design perspective SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL. DARPA has been looking at this for a long time as have other military service design shops. Directed energy weapons have been on the drawing board at least since HG Wells drafted his science fiction works. Albert Einstein's work at the early part of last century helped pave the way for directed energy weapons as well as the more widely know atomic/nuclear fission/fusion weapons.
Whether shipboard, satellite based or less efficiently aircraft based weapons are definitely not eye safe. Hopefully these will never fall into the hands of our adversaries - especially terrorists.

LTC Stephen F. thanks for the insight and the historical approach from HG Well to the modern era of our arsenal and the repercussion if the enemy gets their hands on it.
