ABL Laser Gets MDA Nod Thus Far
Secretary Robert Gates on whether and, if needed, how to proceed with the multibillion dollar effort. Prior to the shootdown test this fall, engineers will be swapping out ABL's optical system, adding new "second generation" optics that are more tolerant to contamination, O'Reilly says. One challenge
