Emporté à de hautes altitudes, un laser aéroporté présente l'avantage d'une grande mobilité et de pertes moindres au niveau de la transmission atmosphérique. [...] L'Agence des États-Unis pour la défense antimissile, l'U.S Air Force et plusieurs sociétés industrielles travaillent en collaboration sur le projet de laser aéroporté (ABL) et comptent faire la démonstration en 2004 de sa capacité à abattre des missiles balistiques. Le laser aéroporté devrait pouvoir être utilisé également pour des activités antisatellites. 6, record 2, French, - laser%20a%C3%A9roport%C3%A9
