Why not put one of the lasers in every large city and put the reflector on the tallest buildings.. That way it is always at ready and cheaper to maintain and deploy and nobody internationally can complain for this defensive mechanism?

Every discussion of ABL seems to forget that it may be good at destroying aircraft, probably certain ground targets, SR missiles — and perhaps even cruise missiles with other linked systems providing basic acquisition and tracking. One wonders if they couldn’t take out A-A missiles, and S-A missiles as well. Maybe they could escort a bomber package (from a distance) making the bombers somewhat less vulnerable. They could monitor a fleet of naval vessels and destroy their missiles almost as they’re launched. I wonder if they may not be more successful with all these short range missiles and missions than with longer range ones.
Thus I propose they make a bunch of dirigibles like the proposed Walrus with the ABL system aboard, and just float them over the top of US fleets and off dangerous coastlines.…

If some knuckle head country does actually get a nuke airborne, seems like we would have to be orbiting the area when that occured..24/7 so they would probably be aware of our presense and just resort to putting it in a truck and driving to the target area for detonation. I can see having a small fleet of these to be used in hotspot areas but not too practical for global control of the airspace against a missle attack.

What in the hell is so “controversial” about making something that can only be used to save lives, possibly thousands if not millions. There is no question about it.

I think we better be safe than sorry, and this layer of defense provided by the ABL is a good thing…! No amount of money spent on anti ballistic missile defense is too much in my opinion, if it will prevent some lunatic out there, like the ones in Iran or Korea from launch nuke missiles at people and hitting them with them.…! Those 2 in particular (Iran and Norht Korea) are not kidding about the treats they make once in a while, and like the one in Iran, if left unchecked can start a global war! So we better be ready to stop them with everything we can muster…that is just been cautious and safe… just my opinion.
