Various companies and organizations use a military grade laser weapon system to conduct security tests. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) performs regular mock raids. Some of the tests are purely table-top, while others require actual gunfire. Some tests are intended to familiarize participants with the details of the business. These include conducting "force-on-force" assaults on key facility buildings, testing the security of various equipment and systems, and testing the mettle of the security personnel.
Various companies use various technologies to monitor and manage their supply chains. A military grade laser weapon system might be the next logical move. The University of Middle England recently conducted a test with a tuned-down military grade laser cannon. While it's unclear what they are trying, it's an interesting experiment.
The best part about this exercise is that it involved a small number of companies using the same military-grade laser weapon systems to carry out the tests. The laser was capable to rip through the Ford F-150. Although this is not the most exciting of things to do, it was able to do so. The laser can generate rapidly expanding gas and is powerful enough to cause an explosion at point of impact. The weapon is used regularly by companies, while others only recently discovered its capabilities. The best part? All the tests are free to the public.
In addition to the test itself, the test aficionado is treated to a number of other perks, including a private tour of the plant. The most intriguing part of the experience is that these tests are the first of their kind, and they may be replicated around the country. NRC is also using drones for inspection of security equipment.
