Too big to put on a giant mecha or in a truck, but it looks like a pretty good point-defence system for our more sensitive residences (such as Forest Hold or The Hangar) or a ballistic-missile submarine (when cruising on the surface). Mind you, actually using it announces to the world that the facility is armed.
Quote:It uses Coherent Beam Combining (CBC) technology to merge multiple beams into a single high-power beam, and is claimed to be able to hit a target the size of a £1 coin (similar diameter to a US quarter) from a kilometer (about half a mile) away, while taking down drones at a distance of more than three miles.(Parenthetical notes were in the original.)
