Both your example and theirs would be better tests than a desert.

    The desert is bad enough. On a hot day you get convection which will vary the refractive index of light and spread out the beam. I wonder if they have active optics on the transmitter to fight this.

      Then you also have the day vs night weather patterns, resulting in intense sun-downer winds. I suggest everyone actually visit a real desert once in their life, where as people seem to think its like a beach, but bigger.

    The US is always geared up and ready to fight the previous war.

    Unless, you know, we often fight in deserts that are remote?

      This is a good point. I just meant that a very humid climate might be a more challenging environment for this technology, but it doesn’t mean it’s as useful for real world fighting conditions.
