The Starfire: A Laser Weapon to kill satellites





So, they are getting better and better! The Starfire range (a powerful ground-based laser weapon) works through the beams of concentrated light to destroy enemy satellites in the orbit. The Starfire Optical Range uses adaptive optics to fire a laser through the atmosphere to fire a satellite or ballistic missile.

However, the project aimed at the development of space weapons, for duo purpose, both defensive and offensive as states the Air Force budget document submitted to Congress in February.
