Title: The Air Force Just Shot Down Multiple Missiles Wit

Quote:
The U.S. Air Force has revealed that a ground-based surrogate for a laser weapon system that could protect American fighter jets and other aircraft from incoming threats in the future has successfully shot down multiple air-launched missiles in a test. The service's publicly stated goal is to have a podded prototype system ready for actual flight tests by 2021 and an actual operational capability by the end of the decade.

That's like Captain Kirk in the Starship Enterprise -
using high energy beams to destroy targets.
It's science fiction come true.
