  • Guns are heavy and slow. Light is near instantaneous and has no trajectory. A targeting laser can move extremely fast and a 360° camera with AI object recognition can pick up targets faster than any human. Targeting does not need to be accurate as a common high power diode laser can fry any optical sensor upon contact. Just aim and add a little jitter in the region of the issue. It should also be possible to use UV lasers that are outside of the visual spectrum. It is not hard to spot these with optics designed for the task, but most military optics seem to focus on IR, so UV should be much less visible while being much higher energy and causing more damage quickly. It should be possible and not require the radio emissions of a jammer.
