While current blasters use continuous wave (CW) lasers that keep shooting laser beam after laser beam, the UPSL will fire short but powerful pulses. It won’t even need a monstrous amount of energy to pull that off. Not only can it vaporize an enemy drone, but it can also disrupt enemy signals like nothing else. The Tactical Ultrashort Pulsed Laser (UPSL) platform will be part of the Tactical Ultrashort Pulsed Laser Platform system. “The Army is preparing the warfighter for a future battlefield with rapidly modernizing militaries while new threats and gaps are emerging,” said a brief that revealed this next-level blaster. It could be the most powerful weapon on Earth - and in the galaxy.
The super blaster will also vaporize its targets instead of burning or melting them like its predecessors. This one fires flashes of light that look like glowing bullets, not unlike all the pew! pew! pew! that goes on in Star Wars. These badass weapons work by pulsing beams at a target (such as a drone or missile) until it melts, which already sounds sci-fi enough. Army is building a laser blaster over a million times more powerful than any previous laser platform. You know how space battles in Star Wars always involve those laser blasters that fire gobs of light and heat at anything that gets in their way? In a galaxy far, far away from Coruscant or Tattooine, we might be getting close.
