One shot deal? One charged shot, or else you have to figure out how to build a very powerful onboard laser energizer small enough to fit into the aircraft while perhaps carrying other ordinance as well. Wow.

ABL = cancelled by the Zero.

ATL = still under development and has been for quite a while while the technology is being refined.

This laser weapon thing is not new.

Can they mount it on sharks? Seems like that is the important question left out.

Okay now a real question.

give 360-degree coverage

Seems to me, if I was on that plane, I wouldn't want 360° coverage in all directions that laser can aim. about 180°, tops.

There was the Airborne Laser (747) which was designed to shoot down ballistic missiles, but that was cancelled a couple of years ago.

I can just imagine a flight of laser equipped Anti-Air BUFFs leading smaller bombers on a strike.

Wouldn't that be interesting?

A planet-size super weapon already exists, it's called the O' Debt Star.

it stuck a primitive (by rebel standards) "Star Wars"-style laser cannon on a fighter jet and flew it over Michigan eight times.

Umm..

Did they zap any of your bear, bambi, possum, 'coon, or chupacabra population while they were over head?

...or any feral demoncrats?
