Great at starting wild fires too
quoting note145s…e4a0All I need to know is if I can get one of these for my vehicle or not? I pinky swear I will use it responsibly.
"The HELIOS (High Energy Laser with Integrated Optical Dazzler and Surveillance) is a versatile weapon designed to counter a range of modern threats, including drones, fast attack craft, and potentially incoming missiles.
Developed by Lockheed Martin, it can deliver over 60 kilowatts of directed energy — enough to power up to 60 homes.
One of its most unusual features is its layered defense approach, enabling both hard and soft kills of hostile threats.
Hard kill means the HELIOS can physically destroy its targets, while soft kill allows it to disrupt the electronic components of hostile threats to disable contact with their operators."
