Did James Bond Movie refer to the Star Wars Death Ray ?

Did Diamonds are Forever Filmed in Las Vegas near "Z" .. ..first indicate that a Star Wars Death Ray laser exists..?

I wonder if anyone recalls the references to it..

Tectronics reminds me of maybe a Area 51 like place that was building it ..

I believe it was filmed at a Gypsum Mine area near lake Mead..

Yes it exists


TRW Directed Energy Weapon

That mirror on the TRW DEW weapon is 4 meters diameter

1991

Alpha High Energy Laser (HEL)
Alpha Laser

Megawatt class power levels were first achieved by the Mid-Infrared Advanced Chemical Laser (MIRACL) originally sponsored by the Navy, later by DARPA, and then by BMDO. Because the design was intended for sea level operation, the MIRACL laser does not achieve the optimum efficiency necessary for space-based operation. DARPA launched the Alpha laser program, with the goal of developing a megawatt level SBL that was scaleable to more powerful weapon levels and optimized for space operation. In this design, stacked cylindrical rings of nozzles are used for reactant mixing. The gain generation assembly achieves higher power by simply stacking more rings. In 1991, the Alpha laser demonstrated megawatt class power levels similar to MIRACL, but in a low pressure, space operation environment. Alpha demonstrates that multi-megawatt, space-compatible lasers can be built and operated.

Large Advanced Mirror Program (LAMP)


To demonstrate the ability to fabricate the large mirror required by an SBL, the Large Advanced Mirror Program (LAMP) built a lightweight, segmented 4 m diameter mirror on which testing was completed in 1989. Tests verified that the surface optical figure and quality desired were achieved, and that the mirror was controlled to the required tolerances by adaptive optics adjustments. This mirror consists of a 17 mm thick facesheet bonded to fine figure actuators that are mounted on a graphite epoxy supported reaction structure. To this day, this is the largest mirror completed for use in space. This LAMP segmented design is applicable to 10 m class mirrors, and the Large Optical Segment (LOS) program has since produced a mirror segment sized for an 11 m mirror. The large dimension of this LOS mirror segment approximates the diameter of the LAMP mirror

Some photos from a lapel camera at a then classified DEW convention

"The following set of photos were taken at the 4th Annual Directed Energy (DE) Symposium,  29 October - 1 November 2001, held in Huntsville, Alabama by a clandestine camera. This is the unveiling of the Space Based Laser (SBL) "















So that you can get the SCALE here is the completed prototype in the clean room prior to launch




Two pages of files, reports, pdf's etc

Deployment Schedule



Bear in mind that this is in public doamin now  So imagine what is really up there

TRW sold it's DEW division to Northrop Gruman

Interesting info and Photos of the DEW real deal..

surprised that was released if its top secret.

I am /was aware that we had discussed and concluded that it probably exists..

I was wondering if movie may had been the 1st film that suggested it as being reality even back then when it was made in 1971...

Also Jessie Venetura did one of his Conspiracy programs on the Death Ray that I have posted somewhere..

It maybe suggested one of the most deadly weapon created ....(baring Nukes and Viruses)

But Could it defend against threatening E.Ts Craft or approaching asteroids, I wonder..

Yes it exists

Well as I said before lots of 'new tech' is revealed in James Bond (and other) movies

This Neutron paricle beam weapons was being tested at White Sands in 1971

As the Movie that I refer to "Diamonds are forever" was done in 1971... that may seem to indicate my suggestion being very possible...

Considering all the above and the fact that (as far as I know) no such thing existed on the book, who added it to the story?
