TheUS Navyhas contracted Boeing to work on aFree Electron Laser , which would provide ship with an ultra - accurate weapon capable of expunge targets with deadly force , causing minimal nearby damage .
Gizmag says Free Electron Lasers move at the speed of brightness and are equal to of outputting a megawatt of ability , which the military requires for adequate defence . FELs differ from gas or solid res publica lasers because they ’re not atomically bound . Instead the electron are bear in a magnetized - base structure that lets the particle move freely . The FEL will be part of the foundation for the Navy ’s architectural plan to develop an all - galvanic ship , which would be as capable as current Naval ships .
