The RL-83 Blindicide was produced by Mecar SA of Belgium and was an improved derivative of what man-portable recoilless anti-tank rocket launcher weapon, widely fielded by the United States Army?
RL-83 Blindicide The RL-83 Blindicide is primarily an antitank rocket launcher but other rounds could be fired. It was produced by Mecar SA of Belgium and was an improved derivative of the M20A1 Bazooka. Its name roughly means "tank killer", derived from the French "véhicule blindé" ("armoured car") and the suffix "-cide".
Advanced Tactical Laser The Advanced Tactical Laser (ATL) program was a US military program to mount a high energy laser weapon on an aircraft, initially the AC-130 gunship, for use against ground targets in urban or other areas where minimizing collateral damage is important. The laser was a 100 kilowatt-class chemical oxygen iodine laser (COIL). It was expected to have a tactical range of approximately twenty kilometers and weigh about 5,000–7,000 kg. This program is distinct from the Airborne Laser, which was a much larger system designed to destroy enemy missiles in the boost phase.
