content: This won't be weaponized as a laser. However, its intended purpose is triggering nuclear fusion in reactors as part of our quest for fusion energy. If it can trigger a reactor, it can trigger a bomb. HOWEVER, I highly highly highly doubt it will be miniaturized enough for bomb triggering anytime soon, if ever. Also, we already have fission devices to serve as triggers for the fusion boosters. As far as offensive lasers go, the US navy has deployed at least one, and it is capable of tasking out drones, helicopters, and small boats.
