The laser weapons can already be in use at various air forces. 

 

The laser weapon can be very powerful even if it is quite small-size, and it can mount in the modified gun pod, where the gun is replaced by using powerful carbon monoxide lasers. The system can be air-cooled, and there can be a windmill generator in the pod, which allows the laser system to get electricity for its flashlight tubes. The fact is that because the laser is basing the increasing power of the standing wave movement the power of the laser ray would depend on the time, what the system stresses the wave movement in the laser tube.

So if there is an opening window in the front of the laser, that thing allows that the power of the laser ray can increase, and then the mirror would be open in the front mirror in the laser. The system requires only that the part of the front mirror would open, and that can give more power to laser rays when the weapon is used to attack against a large-size target. The ram-air that would flow through the laser can decrease the temperature of the system.

The protective systems against ammunition can base the laser weapon.

The protection against the material weapons like missiles can do that way that the laser would just target the incoming missile, and then the laser will destroy the nose of the incoming missile what will explode. In some other visions, the microwave-based system would vaporize the incoming ammunition, and the magnet that is installed to wingman drone will pull the broken ammunition away from the track. 

The rotating nano-size cube, where another side has a mirror can turn the part of laser rays away from the aircraft.

The system might have two positions. When the aircraft is flying in stealth mode, the stealth side of the cube is outside. And when the aircraft is under the fire of laser, the mirror side would turn to outside.  

The defense against laser weapons can base the mirrors that are installed on the nanocubes, which are rotating. The idea is similar to the self tarnishing windows. The windows are formed with the cubes, which are looking like little sugar bites. The other side of the cubes is dark and the other is bright, and when the system turns the dark side to the observer the window will tarnish.

In the laser-protecting layer, one side of the cube has a mirror layer. The system can turn the mirror side of those cubes into a laser ray. And that would decrease the effect of the energy on the structure. Also, the layer where the laser ray will impact can cool to a very low temperature, which would decrease the effect of the laser weapon.

Also, rotating structures, where the same point is not very long to the laser weapon will decrease the transferring energy level in a single point. The rotation would deliver the energy to a larger area, and that thing would decrease the effect of the laser ray.

The futuristic protective field can protect the aircraft or every other target against the laser rays and regular weapons.

And in the most futuristic ideas, the aircraft is covered by using a fast rotating water bubble, or sharper saying two overlapping water bubbles, where is the electric arc between those layers. That water bubble would decrease or deny the laser ray to contact with the layer of the target, and the electric arc will vaporize the material ammunition.

The idea in this system is to benefit the polarity of the water molecules. The water bubbles are put the water bubbles in an overlapping position by using magnetic fields, and then the electric arc would put between those layers. But the problem is how to aim the magnetic fields over the fast-moving aircraft, and the system must be sharp that this protective field could be useful.
