<p>Mary Miller, deputy assistant secretary of the Army for Research and Technology, said the army wants to understand the lasers’ full capabilities “before we offer it to a Soldier”.</p>
<p>“Lasers have been promised for a long time, but they’ve never held up and delivered what was asked for, so the operators are rightfully sceptical,” she pointed out.</p>
<p>The army is testing the lasers against all possible threats, said Miller: “We have to make sure the lasers work and do the full set of scopes against the threats we project. And those threats include the counter-rockets, counter-artillery and counter-mortar as well as [Unmanned Aerial Vehicle] and cruise missile threats.”</p>
<p>The new technology was described as part of the “third offset strategy”, explained as the effort to dominate the battlefield of the future with “asymmetric advantages” – including unmanned and autonomous systems and cognitive warfare.</p>
<p>Very ominous.</p>
