MIRACL is DF and not airborne, but on the ground

airborne laser would use much longer wavel, COIL

techies,
why can't they get COIL to higher powers, just a fact and the why of a need to phase together

Actually the COIL is SHORTER wavelength. The problem with making COIL larger is a plumbing problem- very nasty chemicals and complex mixing processes, especially to fit into an aircraft.
