The Air Force and a small business partner are making a big leap toward fielding aircraft-mounted laser weapons that will save millions of dollars for every shot fired at adversaries instead of conventional missiles. While laser-based systems have taken longer than expected to field – hampered in part by material issues – a nanopowder manufacturing technology under development by the Air Force and Atlanta, Georgia-based nGimat Co. is poised to make laser use a reality sooner than later.
