Synopsis: Light-emitting weapons seem to be the stuff of science fiction-Flash Gordons ray gun, Captain Kirks phaser, Darth Vaders light saber. But the imagined future of science fiction is soon to be a reality. After more than two decades of research, the United States is on the verge of deploying a new generation of weapons that discharge light-wave energy, the same spectrum of energy found in your microwave or TV remote control. Its called directed energy. And its a revolution in weaponry, perhaps more profound than the atomic bomb.
