Obviously we, mere mortals, have solved much of the problems posed by resistance to projectiles, else minor stuff like Fire Direction Control with artillery/rockets would not happen (and of course we cheated by using adjusted impact projectiles). But it would be interesting to see if there is a real application for the Ray's solution in today's world.
