Active Laser Defense System will prevent any object from striking the vessel. These are only to demonstrate the concept and are in now way examples of "ready-to-field" weapons.

Wow. Yea. That's what I am talking about. You power that thing with a nuclear reactor or an "anti-matter" reactor and your all set.

Those things are probably made for weather stations or high altitude/low fuel options. But yeah, most technology is made for the military, give it a few years and maybe a real mothership will come.

Active Laser Defense will prevent any objects from striking the vessel. Not that any enemy will be able to see it anyhow. Full stealth is a must for this type of craft. This type of weapon would be best used to deliver drones to an area of operation rather than acting as the attack vehicle itself.

What I'm wondering though is how that jelly stays afloat. Helium in the sphere maybe?

Again, "Active Laser Defense System".
