Team ABL...A Revolution in Missile Defense

I thought I would share this with my fellow TANXsters...pay attention...a test will follow...

kidding...  
enjoy !

Team ABL Background:
Within the past decade, ballistic missiles — such as Scuds — have emerged as major threats to American and friendly armed forces. As of early 1998, at least 30 nations were known to have more than 10,000 ballistic missiles in their arsenals and the threat is growing daily. Several of these countries are also known to be pursuing development or to have developed nuclear, chemical and biological capabilities for their missiles. 

System Description:
High-energy chemical oxygen iodine laser (COIL) carried aboard a modified Boeing 747-400F freighter. Capable of autonomous operation at altitudes above the clouds, the Airborne Laser (ABL) will locate and track missiles in the boost phase of their flight, then accurately point and fire the high-energy laser, destroying enemy missiles near their launch areas.

This is indeed interesting ghost..

This is just one of many examples of what advanced warfare in the late 21st century could look like..

I dread to think of some of the weapons that could be engineered whether they be biological , chemical or just shear weapons of mass destruction..

Anyways , interesting topic ghost
