That is one big-ass target for small-arms fire

I would be one scared sniper staring down at that thing through a scope hoping I could take it out before the flash goes off and cooks the retinas. I see a market for powerful sunglasses cropping up.

Countermeasures against the weapon could be quite straightforward — for example covering up the body with thick clothes or carrying a metallic sheet — or even a trash can lid — as a shield or reflector. Also unclear is how the active-denial technology would work in rainy, foggy or sea-spray conditions where the beam's energy could be absorbed by water in the atmosphere.

Probably would be better to just tow a huge magnifying glass behind a C5-A and fry the ground troops like ants.
