The future is now, indeed. The aerospace & defense complex in the market weathered Sequestration quite well. And with the implementation of these technologies those stocks, like NOC TDG, should be watched.

Dr. Evil’s dream of having sharks with “freakin’ laser beams attached to their heads” isn’t exactly a fantasy anymore.
That’s because the US Navy released a video yesterday showing off the destructive power of their not very creatively named “Laser Weapons System.”
At the beginning of the clip, the Laser Weapons System is shown on the back of the guided-missile destroyer USS Dewey as the ship cruises on the Pacific Ocean near San Diego, California.
The video quickly zooms in on the Navy’s six-barreled laser cannon, which then fires its invisible ray of destruction on a passing drone aircraft which bursts into flames and crashes into the ocean.
“The future is here,” Peter A. Morrision, the laser’s program officer, told to Navy.mil. “The solid-state laser is a big step forward to revolutionizing modern warfare with directed energy, just as gunpowder did in the era of knives and swords.”
Pretty incredible stuff – considering the fact that we were shooting wads of lead at each other only a couple of decades ago.
No red or green beam, it didn’t happen.
How do we know it’s not just an egg timer rigged to fool Fat Jung Un?

Maybe this N.K. stand off will be similar to Desert Storm I. Bring your toys and lets see who wins.
The N.K. would once again show US military dominance, just as the stealth fighter/bombers did during Desert Storm.
This could get interesting.
