you sure? because judging from the picture above, it definitely looks to be shark-based.

I thought that was a "Flipper" episode..

As far as the OP - that's no drone, that's a UFO!!!  The Navy killed ET!

I have my own sharks, sea snakes, biting fish, jellyfish, and sharktopi to worry about here.

Lasers notwithstanding.

I call BS on that picture.  Everything is believable until you get to T. Rex's eyes:  they're red?!

An albino dinosaur is just stretching it too far....

Great, robot/AI controlled lasers. One step closer to doom.

Premptively, I for one want to welcome our soon to be robotic laser toting overlords and will happily point you towards John Connor.

Nice... Island of Dr. Moreau meets Dr. Evil.

now about the real system: The Navy Phalanx system started as a beast of a Gatling-gun to shoot down anti-ship missiles, but they have bullets, not lasers = Range and Speed fail. Now they can do close-defense fast and clean on pesky UAVs (yes other people that mean to do bad things to us have them).

The Army/Israel already have something like this for ground defense, MTHEL. When comparing cost per/shot, Lasers are way cheaper, have better aiming, and longer range.

Also, don't expect to have laser handguns or a fleet of new F-35 planes with laser weapons on them.  Lasers need lots of power to fire and the big ones have cooling issues, so big ship/vehicle needed for the electricity and active cooling system required.

until we get Tony Stark's garage lab fixed up that is... then it's on like donkey-kong with the iBlaster from Apple.

Wow I thought my post would generate some real comment on the advancement of laser systems as weapons.   Silly me.
