Airborne Laser System

The Airborne Laser System (ALS) is a military technology designed to use high-powered lasers from aircraft to target and destroy incoming threats, such as missiles. By mounting lasers on planes, the system can detect and engage targets at long ranges, making it a potent defense mechanism. The laser beam travels at the speed of light, allowing for rapid response to threats. It represents a shift towards advanced, precision-based military capabilities, focusing on neutralizing threats before they reach their targets, thus enhancing overall security and defense strategies.
