Blowing the doors off: Lockheed's 'ATHENA' laser weapon
This image of a destroyed truck, released by Lockheed in 2015 and said to be the result of its 'ATHENA' 30 kilowatt fiber laser weapon, indicates the kind of damage that such a source can inflict. Around 100 kilowatt output is thought necessary for a full-fledged military-grade weapon. Photo: Lockheed Martin.
