@uhoh interesting question. I've also wondered whether or not directed radar pulses are underrepresented in military arenas.

I wonder what kind of arms race there's been in the engineering there

Speaking of Politics SE and military questions:

@uhoh - submarines cannot use radio. I was searching on Google if a green laser could be a useful tool for communications under water.
For example, a network of radio buoys that could communicate with submarines using lasers.
