This 77-page DIA reference report surveys nanosatellite missions and laser-propelled Lightcraft as a prospective low-cost launch system. It distinguishes demonstrated small-scale beam-riding experiments from proposed orbital systems, reviews laser and beam-control requirements, and concludes that tiny-satellite launch is more attractive than the combat missions examined while remaining dependent on large, reliable laser infrastructure.
