New Airborne Laser System to US Fighter Jets
The US Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) awarded Lockheed Martin $26.3 million for the design, development and production of a high power fiber laser. AFRL plans to test the laser on a tactical fighter jets by 2021. The contract is part of AFRL's Self-protect High Energy Laser Demonstrator (SHiELD)

Airborne Laser Test Bed Put To Rest
Missile Defense Agency is dismantling the Airborne Laser Test Bed
for permanent storage now that the Defense Department has terminated experiments with it. An MDA representative told the Daily Report that the agency is assessing the disposition of the test bed's assets. DOD invested more than $5 billion in the modified 747, which was designed to shoot down boosting ballistic missiles via a high-powered chemical laser shot out of a nose turret. Despite debate over its operational concept, cost, and employment limitations, ALTB succeeded in shooting down a solid-fueled missile and a liquid-fueled missile during tests in February 2010. Through those experiments, the agency said it gained critical insights to help it in the design of future concepts. In December, MDA Director Army Lt. Gen. Patrick O'Reilly said a new generation of anti-missile lasers would have to pack much more power in smaller packages than ALTB, and would have to operate at higher altitudes. MDA believes it is "very close" to having a prototype that will operate off of an "unattended air vehicle" at very high altitudes, he said.
