"It's about time Boeing went and shot that frickin' laser. The Boeing Advanced Tactical Laser C-130H aircraft has completed its first ground test, shooting a high-energy chemical laser through a beam-control system. The gun successfully acquired a ground target and shot the darn thing on August 7, paving the way for an in-air test later this year, hopefully from that bad-ass 747 they've been touting. Boeing promises that the ATL will \"destroy, damage or disable targets with little to no collateral damage.\" Yay for surgical strikes? Maybe some popcorn?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
