Officials Map Out Test Milestones for Airborne Laser
The threat of cancellation no longer looms over the Pentagon's Airborne Laser (ABL) effort, but senior program officials say they are taking nothing for granted as they prepare for a missile-intercept demonstration in 2008.

The ABL is a Boeing 747 aircraft being equipped with a high-powered chemical laser to destroy ballistic missiles in their boost phase. Boeing Co. of Chicago is the prime contractor on the effort.
I recommend reading this brief article. It gives some impression of the budgets for such airborne systems that are open and admitted to and also the scale of the technology that is being openly worked with. This thing fills an entire goddamn 747! :shock:
Click too on the images at the right ff the article...
