Thats cool, but what about a moving target? You'd need something much more powerfull for it to be usefull.And yes, Im aware of the big trailler-sized lasers, but while they are more powerfull, thier size makes them impractical. How long will it be before we see a mix of these two concepts? power and portability

Making a powerful laser mobile is a big problem right now. Power generation and laser cooling hardware weight goes up as laser power is increased. Future fuel cells may hold the answer for high electrical power with lower hardware weight.
