The ABL is designed to estroy missiles inside the atmosphere at ranges up to 400 miles. How far away for a satellite? Or an aircraft? Ship? Human?

What can this raygun shoot? ICBMs, IRBMs, combat aircraft, enemy fighters, islamofacists, dictators, warships, ufos(heehee), satellites....
Ha, all types of scenarios. :0)

Spy satellites do fly within 400 miles of the earth... the ABL should have a long ranger when it's pointed upward - less atmosphere.
It's going to be fun. :)

How far away for a satellite?
Distances to Satellites:
LEOs (Low Earth Orbiters) around 400 miles
Clarke Belt Sats around 22,420 miles

Since Korea is a peninsula, I don't think this should be a problem. Iran might present reach problems right now...

Hope they get the mirror angles correct....those Megawatts could burn a nasty hole in the airframe

Iran might present reach problems right now... If they are telling the truth about the range of the system.
We should be on the look-out for unexplained test launch failures in North Korea and Iran.

If you leave an IFF transmitter for Santa along with the bottle of single-malt this year, then yeah, he might just consider it.
