Mike CrowlCommercial Jet Flies With Anti-Missile System
January 17th 2007 06:20
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.
