Air Force successfully shot down multiple missiles with laser weapons
I will not see this technology being used in the air for now. The Air Force only signed a contract to Lockheed Martin in 2017. And the first aerial test will not begin until sometime in 2021. Before the system is put into use. It may take a while. If the technology operates as envisaged, it could have a huge impact on combat aircraft. laser pointer are not an offensive weapon, at least not for now. Instead, it will be used to shoot down missiles (air-to-air and surface-to-air). As long as nothing interferes with the laser. The aircraft will hardly be threatened by missile attacks. However, the weather may potentially affect its effectiveness.
