Is it possible that they haven’t reported any progress for six years because of having a strategic partner in a large aerospace company which could use their technology for high-kinetic energy anti-missile beams? They do claim to have this “strategic partner in a large aerospace company.”
Particle beams in atmosphere make a hell of a show! Impacts and secondary radiation galore. But they don’t get too far. Outside of that, you’re talking masers and lasers. I saw no indication they had any such plans or expertise. But any “hot” energy source can be used to crank those up.
