Wow, this is amazing. The power requirements seems like it's still to be really hammered out. They do mention that they could install this weapon in older ships that aren't equipped with the amount of power available, but the weapon would have to fire at a lower rate. According to the article a lower rate is something like a round a minute. A ideal rate is something like 6 rounds a minute. Friggin' amazing. So I'm guessing by 2011 they plan to have all of these cool power efficent naval ships, that have the ability to power these monsters. I'm trying to figure out how we're going to do all of this while venturing out to mars?
