Grab your tinfoil hats, mirror shields and popcorn, military lasers are here.  Boeing recently announced that a new laser system they have developed was tested and successfully shot down a UAV (un-manned aerial vehicle).  The kilowatt-class Laser Avenger system “burned a hole” in the UAV and knocked it out of flight, making this a big step toward more military-grade laser weapons.  Read those last two words again– “laser weapons”.  How long have we waited to hear those words?  [cnet]
