Just a reminder that A) this photo exists and B) I own the only known physical copy A Romanian physicist operates a laser system during testing at the Institute of Atomic Physics in Bucharest in 1968. (Romanian government photo/Laser Wars archive) www.laserwars.net/p/romania-la...

The US Space Force envisions a "future operating environment" in 2040 defined by space-based directed energy weapons and "lunar-based weapons" www.spaceforce.mil/Portals/2/Do...

I have spent the last few weeks chatting with several directed energy professionals and learned a new phrase I had never heard before: "Laser liar" (noun): a journalist, usually well-intentioned but blinded by sci-fi wonder, who has no fucking idea what they're talking about

Woke up to a pleasant surprise! laserwars.net

This might be the most unhinged morale patch I've ever seen A U.S. sailor conducts routine maintenance in the hangar bay of the USS Gerald R. Ford while underway in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea on March 22, 2026 www.dvidshub.net/image/959549...

NEW: A preliminary analysis indicates the US Defense Department wants to pour more than $2 billion into research, development, testing, and evaluation (RDT&E) programs involving high-energy laser weapons and other directed energy systems in fiscal year 2027 www.laserwars.net/p/defense-de...

Tired: "We sacrificed so much expensive military equipment to rescue one man!" Wired:

All I want, more than anything else in the world, is for the Pentagon to release a photo of that WSO getting hauled out of danger by a helicopter so I can add "HE IS RISEN" to it

via @laserwars.net, the Pentagon wants to double its R&D budget for lasers and other "directed energy weapons" www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

Find someone who looks at you the way I look at the directed energy line items in the Pentagon's annual budget request on a Friday night

OK, I'll bite: what is a "Good Friday"?

Would it be crazy if I launched a subsection of Laser Wars called 'Infinite Magazine' for outside contributors on futuristic defense tech?

Now would be a good time for someone to interview Scott O'Grady

Feels like the right time to repost my (now 7-year-old!) piece on the US military's lethality obsession for @newrepublic.com newrepublic.com/article/1549...

Famously, a tech company buying a media outlet always turns out well, definitely nothing to see here, definitely not marking this as Exhibit 1073 in Bubble Watch

Finally, a media success story! www.wsj.com/cmo-today/op...

The Pentagon is considering deploying high-energy laser weapons to Washington DC to watch over Pete Hegseth and Marco Rubio’s residences at Fort McNair amid drone sightings, @nytimes.com reports. This is a terrible idea -- but here's an argument for doing it anyway www.laserwars.net/p/washington...

Believe it or not, the US military first shot a drone out of the sky with a high-energy laser weapon back in November 1973. Footage of the shootdown would not become public until 1986, when it aired on a February episode of Polish science TV series 'Sonda" www.laserwars.net/p/project-de...

My wife has informed me that I am, in fact, a PR Girlie

There is going to be a drone 9/11 before the year is over

My wife just referred to herself as "Mrs Laser Wars" 😂😂😂
