- The Airborne Laser, or ABL in mil-speak, is a hulking Boeing 747 equipped with a massive laser cannon, dreamed up by the missile defense agency to blast boosting missiles out of the sky.
- It served as a symbol for the bleeding edge of missile defense and weapons technology for a time, but it also came to represent everything that’s wrong with Pentagon weapons development. Over budget and behind schedule, it barely dodged the fiscal axe on a few occasions.
Basically ABL ( Airborne lasers) will be used for missle threats, which in this case a defensive stratagy.
