And this is proven in the our present current technology instead of theories? Links that any military in this world has really applied them and battle proven? Or is it really limited to space technology only? So far the deadliest WMDs the humans ever produced are still the Nukes and H-bombs. The radiation caused by it would be more than enough to kill off an entire ecology which would take hundreds of years to be habitable again. Then again it won’t be viable if you want to start a mining colony and develop cost efficient manufacturing within Pandora.
The weapons technology in the Avatar universe seems didn’t recognize or develop laser or energy weaponry, but instead they focus on projectiles and missiles. So in a sense we can still relate with the RDA and humans weaponry because the specs are quite between our time and them, with the exception of space technology, human/biological engineering, robots/exoskeletons or visual monitors.
And for earth to launch a massive invasion, aside with R&D with the load-up capacity to solve their logistical problems, they better ready to mass produce a huge amount of cryonics hibernation system within their fleets lol.

I think it’s already solved with the cyronic hibernation stuff. You put people in a refrigerator like tube and voila, you manage to manipulate time perceiving with your body’s still in good condition.
