• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Hopefully, we can get a few of them deployed around North Korea on Aegis-equipped vessels to
offset their bombastic rhetoric.
 
I'm sure it's just coincidence that the Navy have released this demo just when fatboy is throwing his toys.
...and LOL, Allen!

That weapon will do wonders, providing...

... that water vapour between the target and LaWS are nearly absent as infra-red are absorbed by it.
... that the target moves in a rectilinear trajectory for at least 3 to 5 seconds.
... that it is covered by an infra-red absorbing surface.

But if it comes fast and uses evasive manoeuvres, or if it is covered by infra-red reflective or non-absorbing material, or if it uses stealth technology, or if it simply comes on a rainy day, pray that the weapons' officer has something else to throw at it.:kilroy:
