RE: WW3 Watch: Russia's Sixth-Generation fighter jets to be armed with lasers
Wouldn't the "optics" be duplicated on the fighter or other sources and just guide the missile? Just like it is mentioned in the last two points, the radar would be improved to see further, so the plane itself would know where the enemy craft is and relay the message.
Of course, that's if the message was sent fast enough.
I don't understand your question. Are you talking about distributed lethality?
I'm trying to understand the purpose of a laser to shoot a missile that would possibly have other methods of tracking its target. If the plane can track from a distance, it would seem that it could also send information to the missile as it headed towards the target.
Just spit balling future tech.
