http://www.gizmag.com Boeing has won a U.S. Navy contract worth up to $163 million to develop the Free Electron Laser (FEL), a weapon system that the company says "will transform naval warfare in the next decade by providing an ultra-precise, speed-of-light capability and unlimited magazine depth to defend ships against new, challenging threats, such as hyper-velocity cruise missiles." The envisioned level of precision would enable U.S. Navy ships to deliver nonlethal or lethal force to targets with power and minimal collateral damage. en gizmag.com http://www.gizmag.com/boeing-us-navy-contract-free-electron-laser/11480/#comment-108139 http://www.gizmag.com/boeing-us-navy-contract-free-electron-laser/11480/#comment-108139 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 13:44:57 -0600 http://www.gizmag.com/boeing-us-navy-contract-free-electron-laser/11480/#comment-2092 http://www.gizmag.com/boeing-us-navy-contract-free-electron-laser/11480/#comment-2092 Sat, 25 Apr 2009 22:51:35 -0500
