Deft x of course.
Unless you are serious...then any old ultrafire 2000 lumen dropin with host paired with 3x 18650 in series will work just fine.

A: Op is not serious, you wouldn't use visible light for that.

Surface to Air Missile? Or Strike Anywhere Matches?

I would probably use something with a lot of knurling for strike anywhere matches.

Are you talking about a handheld light for the crew? Or a searchlight? Searchlight is a little passe, these days.

Why SAMs when we have COILs now? Just need thermal vision to lock on and :

Lasers are cool, but there are countermeasures. We've got frickin' death-beams! Love the 21st century!

WHAT countermeasures have YOU access to??? I have yet to see anything a COIL can't burn thru eventually.

A mirror?

It'll have to be one Hellova mirror!!! At 5kw, they need to be all metal, liquid cooled and designed for the wavelength, and TOTALLY clean! Even a dust speck will cause failure and it will fry.

Yeah, but when I bounce the beam back at you, you'd better turn off your laser or run!

Yeahhhhh..... Lasers do not work that way.

Sandstorm, fog, heavy rain, etc? Ruins the focus over a very short distance. My countermeasure is Nature!
...sounds like something an elf would say.

Lasers don't reflect off mirrors? Isn't that exactly how the laser is amplified and collimated inside the device? I should be able to reflect a laser off a mirror and bounce it back a you; it works that way with a cheap laser at home.
Anyway, it was meant partially in jest.

The interesting thing about mirrors is that none can reflect 100% of light. Even the slightest smudge can dramatically ruin reflectivity, afaik.
Nah, good tent. If you're crewing a forward SAM site, you probably have a tent.
