I think they meant "High-Speed" in terms of its ability to react to and destroy high velocity targets.

Yes, in the article, the author was being redundant.

I should have also mentioned the phrase "High Speed" was not discussing the speed of the laser, but the relative speed of the laser technology to other defensive technologies. The information I mentioned in my posts above was not relevant to the article itself, but I thought some people might find it interesting.
