Airborne Laser In-Flight Testing (PDF)
MDA announced that the Airborne Laser is currently undergoing flight testing of the beam control/fire control system, which includes both the Tracking Illuminator Laser and Beacon Illuminator Laser.
During upcoming flight tests, both the TILL and BILL will be fired in-flight against the Black Crow, an aircraft using a painted missile on the side of the aircraft for tracking purposes, to demonstrate the ability of the ABL to track the target as well as compensate for effects of the atmosphere.
