Turret 'tames' turbulence
The prototype turret developed by Lockheed Martin for DARPA and the Air Force Research Laboratory, on board a modified business jet. The optical system controls and compensates for air flow, paving the way for laser weapon systems on tactical aircraft. So far, the tests have only been performed with a low-power green laser.
