U.S. Missile Defense System To Be Online Within A Year…; Star Wars Laser Project

Within the next year the long awaited U.S. Missile Defense System will come online. While there will be no formal announcement of its initialization, the nations safety will become greatly enhanced seemingly overnight. Alongside the missile weaponry used to stop incoming ICBMs (intercontinental ballistic missiles) there will be several forms of lasers used. One such laser is to be tested over the next several months. The Airborne Laser project uses two solid-state illuminator lasers to track enemy missiles and to monitor the atmospheric turbulence. From there, it can make precise calculations to help direct conventional missiles towards the target, or the calculations can be utilized to help aim the aircrafts upcoming chemical oxygen iodine laser (COIL). The COIL has the capability to kill any incoming missile with its powerful energized beam. Again, the United States is at the forefront with technologies aimed at protecting its people. The visions of Reagan’s Administration have come to pass with this latest development. However, the country cannot rely on these defensive measures alone. Taking the fight to the enemy in terrorist states such as Iran, Syria, and North Korea is a must to help curb the onslaught of threats being thrown at the free world constantly.
