SOVIET GROUND-BASED LASER
by Edward L. Cooper, 1986
The Soviet Strategic Defense Program involved extensive research on advanced technologies in the 1980s. The USSR already had ground-based lasers, conceptually illustrated here, capable of interfering with some US satellites.
~The DIA commissioned this illustration of 1980's Soviet ground-based laser weaponry. The DIA is the Pentagon's intelligence agency. Art IS more a product (or process) of the imagination rather than perception, wouldn't you agree?
