US Air Force general: laser warfare in the sky is coming sooner than you think

Fighter jets may soon take enemies out of the sky using laser weapons.


“That day is a lot closer than I think a lot of people think it is,” said US Air Force General Hawk Carlisle at this week’s 2015 Air Force Association Air & Space conference.


Speaking at a presentation about what Carlisle calls “Fifth-Generation Warfare,” he told Ars Technica that the Air Force is looking for something like a laser cannon that can be mounted on fighter aircraft and other manned planes within the next five years.
