JSF will probably have 100kW laser able to shoot down incoming misilles. The power input is not a problem, because marine version uses a lift fan for
vertical take off. In other versions liftfan could be replaced by generator and laser with one or two small retrctable turrets. It is know that JSF
engine IS ABLE TO PRODUCE SO MUCH POWER, the only chalenge is to create smaller 100kW solid state laser. Current versions have only 25 kw.
lol, the key word that u said was probably, which everyone knows, will most likely mean no, it would be impractical to use a laser generator, i don't
think u know wat u're talking about, because if u have seen the lasers that the army uses, they're mounted on the ground, they say that its too
heavy for any vehicle too carry, and it requires just too much power, thats why u don't see lasers on Abrams tanks, regrettably, that would be
awesome though, and thats why they won't include it in an F-35, beause, first of all, way too much power, 100Kw,u kidding me
the sheels that the laser system was shotting at were going at Mach 1.1, so imagine a missile coming at Mach 3-4.5, it would take even more power too
destroy it in time before the missile hits the aircraft
but, lasers are a good idea, just not practical, yet, hu knows, someday, we might have pulse weapons, and plasma weapons on our planes
