The USAF has test fired a whacking big laser from a 747 parked on a runway at Edwards AFB. Shortly they plan to take the plane up and try it in flight. This thing was originally intended to be used to target incoming Soviet nukes during WWIII. The collapse of the Soviet Union has probably affected the mission description for the laser, but I can think of several things that fly through the air that might need vaporization from a discreet distance.
We now have in test both the air-to-ground, and air-to-air version of high-energy laser weapons. Can my flying car be far behind?
