Full disclosure - I am a shareholder of BLG.
Guided energy weapons, for example in the form of the British navy's 50 kW laser, are designed knock out incoming threats.
BluGlass (ASX: BLG) has developed a (relatively) low temperature process for making blue GaN lasers, and have just received a repeat order from a Central Florida Uni:

Title: Event-Based Sensing for Space & Directed Energy Applications (Air Force)
Description:
FY 2019 New Start - This project comparatively tests neuromorphic imaging technology and algorithms. This technology enhances daytime ground/space-based space situational awareness and directed energy test and evaluation. If successful, the resulting prototype will enhance ground-based space situational awareness and the technology will be inserted into further space-based situational awareness technology development.
FY 2019 Plans:
Test article cameras are to be received in 3Q FY 2019. Design for integration of camera into sensor applications is to be completed in 4Q FY 2019. This project continues in FY 2020 with FY 2020 funds.
FY 2020 Plans:
Application-specific testing will occur throughout FY 2020. Tests are to be completed by 4Q FY 2020 with a closeout report
