Incredible Breakthroughs in Modern Warfare that Will Leave You Speechless!

22. Boeing Laser Avenger

The Boeing Laser Avenger, mounted on combat vehicles, is a combination of kinetic and directed energy weapon system used in covert or concealed positions. In other words, this laser is capable of shooting down objects from the sky without leaving a smoke trail that leads back to the weapon’s location.

Nearly 15 years ago, Boeing began developing an infrared laser defense system for aviation called the Boeing Laser Avenger. The idea behind the “Avenger” was to enable friendly forces to shoot down enemy aircraft while keeping their own locations undisclosed. And that is exactly what the finished product achieves.
