Video: US Military slowly approaching Death Star weaponry capabilities

The world finally has a functional death ray. Raytheon's new "Laser Weapons System" is a solid-state, six-laser array attached to a Navy Phalanx Close-In Weapons System. The "death ray" focuses 50kW of fiery death on anything airborne. Watch it kill a UAV in video below. Check out this YouTube video which is slowly going viral.


The Death Star according to a Wikipedia article is  a fictional moon-sized space station and superweapon appearing in the Star Wars movies and expanded universe. It is capable of destroying a planet with a single destructive beam emitted from the large indentation on its surface. In the films, the first Death Star is featured in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of The Sith being constructed and in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope which at that time is fully constructed, and a second Death Star is under construction in Star Wars
