Directed-energy weapons
Directed-energy weapons may be installed in conventional takeoff F-35 Lightning IIs, whose lack of a direct lift fan frees up about 10 ft³ (2.8 m³) of space and whose engine provides more than 27,000 hp (20 MW) for electrical power.[28] Some concepts, including solid state lasers and high-power microwave beams, may be nearing operational status.[29]

Wow, so I guess you would like to drag out your old Atari 2600 and use it instead of a PS3?
Believe me I love the F-16 but it is pushing 30 years old and the F-18 is only a few years younger. We need to start replacing them.
