US Considers Solar Powered Missiles
WASHINGTON-The United States Defense Department is considering the use of solar powered missiles in upcoming military conflicts with Iran. Officials believe that these missiles may become future weapons of choice because they would require very little maintenance.
The US had been trying to develop “live” missiles for the past three decades. The idea behind “live” missiles is that they would upgrade themselves, and become more effective without the need for human intervention. Development in biological warfare seemed like a good candidate at first, but it actually becomes less effective as people become immune to the agents. The idea of solar powered missiles takes a completely different approach. Instead of trying to make the components of the missile more efficient, developers would seek to make the “fuel” become naturally more effective.
Chairman of the Solar Power Firearms (SPF) project explains. “After the first solar powered missile strikes, it will release a chemical to destroy part of the ozone layer. The thinner ozone layer would allow more sunlight to enter into the atmosphere, so that the next missile launched will have more sunlight to fuel it. The second missile will also destroy a part of the ozone layer, which would ensure that the third missile is even more powerful. With each missile launched, the power of the next missile is guaranteed to be higher without any need for upgrades.”
Having more “fuel” even gives the missile unforeseen benefits. With more intense sunlight, the missiles are able to fly even higher than before, which allow them to gather even more sunlight, so the growth is almost exponential. Flying higher also serves a defensive purpose. Higher-flying missiles are less likely to be shot down by enemy interceptors. Also, because it’s solar powered, it is EPA approved as environmentally friendly.
