During the flight test, the lasers will be fired at a military NKC-135 aircraft with a picture of a ballistic missile painted on its fuselage...What??

What??
North Korea is now painting their missles to look like airborne cows to fool the system. :)

The laser will be low power and cause no damage. The idea is to test the laser targeting system. By doing it on a moving NKC-135, the test can be repeated many times.

Knowledge points laid out for this year include testing of the solid-state lasers for missile tracking and atmospheric-distortion correction.Does it make sense now?

"picture of a ballistic missile"
Computers must be used for aiming at the shape of an ballistic missile...?
