Many companies and organizations use military-grade laser weapons systems to conduct security checks. They include the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. It regularly conducts mock raids. Some tests are table-top while others require actual firearm fire. Some of the tests are designed to acquaint the participants with the nitty-gritty 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.
Diverse technology platforms are used by companies to monitor, manage and control their supply chains. A military grade laser weapon system might be the next logical move. The University of Middle England recently tested a modified military-grade laser gun. While it's unclear what they are trying, it's an interesting experiment.
It is interesting that several companies used the same military grade laser weapon system for the tests. It was capable of cutting a hole in a Ford F-150. This isn't the most exciting thing. The laser is capable of generating rapidly expanding gas, and the energy transfer is large enough to cause an explosion at the point of impact. Some companies have used this weapon regularly, while others have only recently discovered their capabilities. The best thing about all is the fact that public testing is possible.
The test is not the only thing that the fanatic gets. He or she also gets a private tour of a plant. This experience is unique in that it's the first of its kind. They may even be repeated elsewhere. The NRC is also incorporating new technologies in the testing process such as drone inspection of security equipment.
