The shell, moving at about 1,000 mph, was tracked by radar and heat-sensing infrared sensors, then locked onto and zapped by the laser beam traveling at light speed.
What's the big deal? My ex-wife used to do that with my money. Only faster.

Pardon my ignorance, but does a variance in visibility affect the use of laser weaponry, or does it operate in a frequency which will penetrate clouds, smoke, etc.?

``Shooting down a single artillery shell is pretty cool, but artillery shells don't come in ones,'' said Christopher Hellman, a senior analyst at the Center for Defense Information in Washington.Wow, Christopher, is it really "pretty cool"? Or would "narly" be a more accurate description?

The technology to track and hit a fast moving object with a laser does not surprise me. However, to produce a beam with enough energy to destroy an object at great distance amazes me.

What about counter-measures to the lasers, like
putting a mirrored finish on the shells, rockets, and missiles?
