Part 4/8:
The Navy's patent outlines a method for augmenting stealth capabilities through the use of lasers to generate plasma bursts. These bursts could trick incoming missiles into targeting what they perceive as aircraft, which could effectively serve as a holographic decoy.
This concept may sound outlandish, but existing technologies have already demonstrated the ability to create floating plasma balls capable of transmitting audible human speech. Such developments suggest that significant advances in non-lethal weaponry are underway, hinting at practical applications for this laser technology beyond mere theoretical exploration.
