Certainly nothing could go wrong w/
this, could it? By go wrong, we of course mean "be used by humans to kill other humans." As well as the usual fear of
robots gone mad.
Don't think for an instant that mosquito genocide is all the Strategic Defense Initiative ("Star Wars") has come to.
Or, laser-equipped drone aircraft could track bugs by radar, sweeping the sky with death-dealing photons.
Because it will be escalated to a human-sized laser, & mounted on a
Hellfire-firing Warrior-Alpha. (Have they just completely run out of names for stuff?)
Warrior-Alpha is an extended range, multi-purpose hybrid UAV designed by General Atomics. The UAV platform, a derivative of the MQ-1 Predator and designed for reconnaissance, contains electro-optical/infrared or synthetic aperture radar payloads as well as both a laser rangefinder designator and a laser target marker.
Note the word "laser" twice in the payload description above, & extrapolate just a teensy bit.
And no, we don't believe tin-foil (or even lead-foil,
our preferred head-protector) will keep the lasers from making your head explode.

Not that the future does not hold killer robots and deadly lasers, but from that article, I'm not very impressed. Under carefully controlled conditions, they can target a bug in a tank not very far away; missiles coming in from various directions with electronic deception etc. is quite a different matter.
Defense against killer robots which are armed with lasers may become necessary; I recommend viruses (software) and nanobots (tiny hardware).

We're most worried about that sort of thing being used against urbanites causing trouble. Imaginary North Korean missiles, not so much. Nor so effective.
Keep a handful of nanites ready at all times when in the open.
