CAN I GET A HELL YEAH?

NEW: This might just be the most significant US military investment in directed energy weapons research and development, well, ever. A preliminary Laser Wars 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.

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. dvidshub.net/image/9595492/…

@AirPowerNEW1 Unclear: the sole program element explicitly for directed energy was zeroed out but there are two ‘Counter-Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-sUAS)’ elements that could contain procurement cash. Won't know for sure until the J-books drop

@laserwarsHQ How much for procurement ?

Why this photo was just published to @DVIDSHub today, I have no idea Air Force's Wyatt Hanoian takes a drink after scoring an early run during a game against the University of Northern Colorado, at Erdle Field on Mar. 31, 2026 in Colorado Springs, Colo.

"This was no longer about dazzling sensors of disabling optics. This was about destruction." Ripping a story with no credit and using blatant AI story cadences in the process was certainly a choice

NEW: HE HAS RISEN

JUST IN: The Pentagon Wants to More Than Double Its Directed Energy R&D Budget The directed energy and high-energy laser weapon R&D line items in the US Defense Department's fiscal year 2027 budget request total $952 million, up from $442 million in fiscal year 2026. Most notably, the Pentagon is requesting $452 million *alone* for directed energy projects directly related to the 'Golden Dome for America' missile shield.
