Title seems bogus to me, but this could be a huge advantage for Special Forces.
It's nice to have a Death Star available when you need it.
10 mile range is pretty cool too.

New weapon could mean the end of collateral damage I think they mean "could obliterate all evidence" of collateral damage.

Add to this an adequate tracking system and such a laser would be terrific as an anti-missile defense.

Under the program, Boeing would test the aircraft in July 2006. The aircraft would have all subsystems on board except the high-energy laser. Officials said a low-power surrogate laser would be used instead of the kilowatt-class, high-energy laser. Set phasers on "annoy".

The laser could have tremendous repercussions on the battlefield, particularly in urban warfare in such countries as Afghanistan and Iraq.I'm not Walter Cronkite or anything, but I'm pretty sure we already whipped them.
