Feb. 11, 2010 - At 8:44 p.m. (PST), a short-range threat-representative ballistic missile was launched from an at-sea mobile launch platform. Within seconds, the ALTB used onboard sensors to detect the boosting missile and used a low-energy laser to track the target. The ALTB then fired a second low-energy laser to measure and compensate for atmospheric disturbance. Finally, the ALTB fired its megawatt-class High Energy Laser, heating the boosting ballistic missile to critical structural failure. The entire engagement occurred within two minutes of the target missile launch, while its rocket motors were still thrusting.

@AmbassadorOfGlory i noticed the same thing. if u think about how fast those missiles are traveling in boost phase it's happening real quick...most of these people are delusional, and totally unwilling to accept us has technology that advanced.

@ieatpeas24 A 500W laser can cut mirrors. I am sure the military is using a much more powerful laser than 500W.

@ieatpeas24 Neah , mirrors don't reflect 100 % , and even if 1% is not reflected , at that power is enough to melt through.You need a plane made of gold , reflects the infrared radiation 100,00 %
