Boeing officially rolled out the Airborne Laser (ABL) aircraft from a modification facility in Wichita on Oct. 27.
While the head of the Pentagon's Missile Defense Agency praised the system during the ceremony. A former Pentagon chief weapons tester said the enemy could easily defeat the laser by putting a reflective coating on the outside of its missiles to bounce off the laser beam.
