Airborne Laser (ABL)

Airborne Laser (ABL) is a military technology designed to intercept and destroy incoming ballistic missiles using a high-energy laser mounted on an aircraft. The system detects a missile shortly after launch and fires a powerful laser beam to heat and damage it, ideally before it can reach its target. ABL combines advanced radar and tracking systems to ensure precision and effectiveness. This approach aims to enhance missile defense capabilities and protect against potential threats, offering a more dynamic response compared to traditional ground-based defense systems.
