Space Force working on laser defenses

(Worthy News) – The Space Force is developing directed-energy weapons as a counter to space warfare threats posed by both China and Russia, according to the general in charge of the force.

Air Force Gen. Jay Raymond disclosed the work on high-tech directed-energy weapons during congressional testimony last month.

Rep. James Langevin, Rhode Island Democrat, said during an exchange with Gen. Raymond at a House Armed Services Committee hearing that directed-energy weapons pose a “significant threat” but can also be a possible defensive tool for protecting American satellites.
