Boeing, Airborne Laser Team Begin Firing High-Energy Laser on ABL Aircraft
The Airborne Laser (ABL) aircraft has fired its on board high-energy chemical laser for the first time during ground testing at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif.
Ground firings of the laser will be followed by flight tests of the entire ABL weapon system, culminating in an airborne intercept test against a ballistic missile in 2009.
