Explanation:

It strikes are extremely accurate, silent and invisible. It is primarily intended to take on drones, aircraft, and small vessels that could be used in an attack.
The system has special materials that release photons at the speed of light. It silently hits the target, burning it to a temperature of thousands of degrees.
It can even target a single component of an enemy target and disable or destroy it as necessary.
Each strike of the system travels 50,000 times the speed of an incoming ICBM (Intercontinental Ballistic Missile).
Its precise nature can also limit collateral damage in wartime. Its cost per use is approximately $1 per shot.
The system requires electrical power and a three-man team.
