Fusion (1)
- Plasma-jet-driven magneto-inertial fusion (PJMIF)

The technology is being commercialized for civilian fusion energy, not weapons.

Microsecond-latency plasma control is real and demonstrated, but only on commercial FPGAs. A rad-hard, TFLOPS-class plasma-control SoC does not exist in any public product catalog. BAE RAD510 delivers ~1,386 MIPS, roughly three orders of magnitude short of 1 TFLOPS.
The Gertsenshtein effect is sometimes cited in speculative plasma-weapons contexts alongside ER=EPR and Zeldovich superradiance as part of a gravity-devices chain. Modern assessment confirms the effect is negligibly weak in plasma and quenched at high fields. No connection to plasma weapons, FRCs, or orb propulsion has been proposed in any peer-reviewed source.
Physics & Propulsion (1)
- WHIP (Wormhole Induction Propulsion) Dossier
- WHIP was proposed by Eric Davis in 1998 while at NIDS (Bigelow organization). It describes using magnetic fields greater than 10^10 Tesla to create spacetime curvature manifesting as a traversable wormhole. Davis recommended nuclear explosive magnetic flux compression (achieving >=10^9 Tesla) as the path to these field strengths. This connects nuclear weapons technology to spacetime manipulation and was written 5 years before Davis AFRL studies.
Links nuclear explosive flux compression techniques to exotic theoretical propulsion concepts.

ETC guns are the only documented application of plasma technology in conventional weapons outside the major-power compact-toroid programs. They are fundamentally different from plasma orb or plasmoid weapons.
The Stupitskiy/IAP plasma gun research is the most direct open-source evidence of a nation pursuing the MARAUDER compact-toroid concept as an offensive weapon post-2000. It is research-phase only. No evidence of a fielded system exists.
The DIA explicitly commissioned a study on pulsed-power weapons as part of the same program that studied aneutronic fusion and wormholes. This is the weapons application of the same physics chain that enables plasma orb weapons.
The A-60 Sokol Echelon is the foreign equivalent of the US ABL YAL-1. Both proved MW-class airborne prime power but neither addressed MJ-class pulsed power.
