projectile speed is only part of the problem...target acquisition is the other
piece...can this weapon hit something moving that fast and at a relatively
low altitude?

I’ve thought of that as well. Aiming
at and tracking a projectile going many times
Faster than a speeding bullet.

back in the mid ‘90’s, they mounted a laser on a tank.. looked like a big searchlight..
25 miles downrange, they lit off a 155mm howitzer..
this thing locked on and shot down the projectile IN FLIGHT..
3 times in a row!!!
