The military is expecting to have laser armed fighter jets by the year 2020. These jets will be able to protect the jet from incoming missiles and other jets. What makes this hard is the g-forces and vibrations at near supersonic speeds. This is a quote from the article “[a] 360-degree laser bubble would surround a U.S. warplane. That bubble would disable or destroy anything that comes inside, like a missile or another aircraft.”
I think that these jets are a great idea because they will protect the jet and the men and women inside from missiles and even other jets. It will be hard to make the kind of laser that is needed though because the laser needed will have to be small, have good accuracy, and be very powerful to work for the jets. Even though it may be hard I think these lasers will be a great step up for the military.

ReplyDeleteI think this could be unsafe, you could accidently laser a plane of innocent travelers.
ReplyDeleteI think the air force can definitely use something like this
