Airborne laser perhaps? Taking out ICBMs in boost phase is what it was designed to do after all. The laser is not visible to the naked eye and has a very long range. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that this was the case.   Bbbob Posted on Friday, April 13, 2012 - 10:10 am:        I'm not sure we'd ever find out in our lifetimes, but it would have been a great opportunity to test such a system...   Hootowl Posted on Friday, April 13, 2012 - 10:33 am:        Program was scrapped in Feb 2012, which I was unaware of. Still, there could have still been an operation aircraft available. It isn't like the launch was a surprise. They would have had time to prepare the plane.   Ferris_von_bueller Posted on Friday, April 13, 2012 - 06:25 pm:        There are other laser weapon systems   Iamike Posted on Friday, April 13, 2012 - 07:47 pm:        The O man probably wouldn't let us use them, it wouldn't be 'fair'.
