Seattle Post Intelligencer January 22, 2010 Airborne Laser engages target missile in flight The Boeing-led Airborne Laser engaged a target missile in flight Jan. 10, although the test wasn't intended to destroy the missile, the U.S. Missile Defense Agency reported, while also posting a video of the test here. Engagement of the target missile, called a Missile Alternative Range Target Instrument, "demonstrated the full functionality of the ABL system to successfully acquire, track, and engage a boosting target," the agency said. The agency launched the MARTI from San Nicolas Island, in the Naval Air Warfare Center-Weapons Division Sea Range, off the central California coast. The agency is scheduled to attempt the first lethal laser shoot down of a boosting ballistic missile later this year. =========================== Stop NATO http://groups.yahoo.com/group/stopnato Blog site: http://rickrozoff.wordpress.com/ To subscribe, send an e-mail to: rwroz...@yahoo.com or stopnato-subscr...@yahoogroups.com Daily digest option available. ============================== --------------------------- ANTI-NATO INFORMATION LIST --^---------------------------------------------------------------- This email was sent to: arch...@mail-archive.com EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?a84x2u.bNM5nn.YXJjaGl2 Or send an email to: antinato-unsubscr...@topica.com For Topica's complete suite of email marketing solutions visit: http://www.topica.com/?p=TEXFOOTER --^----------------------------------------------------------------
