There’s a laser revolution coming: a time when megawatt-scale beams will radically transform how we produce electricity, conduct war and even upset the nuclear world order. All they have to do it reach a certain convergence of price and power.

The revolution continues! Warfare on the ground and sea will be heavily affected by megawatt-class lasers in the next two decades or so.

And, as we'll see, there are transformative applications in industry, energy generation, transportation and remote sensing.
