I do not believe it was, but maybe the Pentagon should take a peak at the tracking technology to possibly bolster the successful missile shield laser. That is if it was not about to be axed.

I was kidding.

As I understood it, that big laser could shoot down a missile in 6-8 seconds shortly after it was launched from a few 100 kilos away. All well and good, but how deep into enemy airspace would a 747 be able to go without getting shot down with an ground to air missile? And what are the chances of a weapon like this working with a warhead speeding into US airspace?
