The US Missile Defense Agency shot down a ballistic missile in it's first successful test of the Airborne Laser Testbed. The Agency stated: "The revolutionary use of directed energy is very attractive for missile defense, with the potential to attack multiple targets at the speed of light, at a range of hundreds of kilometers, and at a low cost per intercept attempt compared to current technologies."
The futuristic weapon was mounted to a Boeing 747 jumbo jet yesterday and can destroy all classes of missiles.

The Airborne Laser system is being developed by Boeing, while the laser itself is produced by weapon builder Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin is responsible for the beam and fire control systems.
