The United States Air Force today unveiled its futuristic airborne laser weapon, based on a modified 747 design.

“What makes this revolutionary is that you can engage targets at the speed of light – 186,000 miles per second,” Air Force Col. John Daniels said. “So we can go from New York to Los Angeles before you can blink your eye. Think about that. You can’t blink your eye faster than this weapon system or a beam of light goes across the country.”

The Airborne Laser is being developed as part of the defense shield, A detection-and-tracking system, optics and a high-energy laser would detect a missile launch and track it during the boost phase.

Now once they learn to aim their target dummies properly Bush can go and declare WW III on rest of the world.
