Laser knocks down test missile off Calif. coast: "The Air Force and Boeing Co. announced Friday that an airborne laser system tracked a target missile as it accelerated over the ocean off the Point Mugu Naval Warfare Center on Thursday night. The Air Force says an energy beam heated the missile until it broke up.
It's the first time the laser has knocked down a liquid-fueled missile. The Air Force says it destroyed a solid-fuel missile during a test on Feb. 3."
