CNN reports that an MD-10 cargo jet equipped with Northrop Grumman's Guardian anti-missile system took off from Los Angeles International Airport on a commercial flight Tuesday.

The FedEx flight marked the start of operational testing of a laser system which will defend aircraft against hand-held or shoulder-fired anti-aircraft weapons during takeoff and landing.

The system which is adapted from military technology works by detecting a missile launch and then directing a laser at the missile's seeker system to disrupt it's guidance. The laser is safe to human eyes.
