AvWeb's article on it
http://www.avweb.com/eletter/archives ... ash/1470-full.html#201251 Quote: In August, Boeing announced that it had successfully shot a stationary truck on the ground with a laser onboard a C-130 flying overhead. Last week video of what happens when airborne laser meets truck was released showing metal sizzling from an area outlined in duct tape on the truck's hood. Boeing earlier said the test had "defeated the vehicle" although it's not clear in the accompanying video what, if any, damage was done besides some melted sheet metal. Still, it represents a milestone in weapons technology which will have the result of making war just a little safer for those caught in the crossfire. |

We have communicators. Soon we'll have phasers and photon torpedos. I wonder if they're also developing a sheild?

Just remember this is what they tell us. Imagine what they're not telling.

Eh, the actual test failed so they just threw a magnesium coil on the hood and lit it.
Looks like the only thing they "defeated" was the paint job. |
