  445.  
  446. Here's one version:
  447.  
  448. First-ever laser antimissile system hits target in field test
  449.  
  450. A New York Times report
  451. May 5, 2000 - 12:38 AM
  452. http://tampatrib.com/News/MGIF8KOBV7C.html
  453.  
  454. A powerful laser developed by Israel and the United States to shoot down
  455. rockets has passed its first test at the White Sands Missile Range in New
  456. Mexico, hitting a stationary target, American military officials said this
  457. week.
  458.  
  459. If it is eventually deployed, the system would apparently be the first of=
  460.  its
  461. kind. ``To my knowledge, no nation has ever deployed an antimissile system
  462. based on a laser,=B4=B4 said Lt. Col. Rick Lehner, a spokesman for the=
  463.  Ballistic
  464. Missile Defense Organization at the Pentagon.
  465.  
  466. Designed and built by a California contractor, TRW, for Israel and the U.S.
  467. Army, the laser and its tracking system were tested last week against
  468. stationary targets, said Lt. Gen. John Costello, commander of the U.S. Army
  469. Space and Missile Defense Command. Costello said the system, the Tactical=
  470.  High
  471. Energy Laser, would probably be tested this month against a moving Katyusha
  472. rocket. If that test is successful, he said, the system will be shipped to
  473. Israel for further testing and deployment.
  474.  
  475. ``It will be the first engagement of the Katyusha rocket by a tactical
  476. high-energy laser, something that is militarily useful,=B4=B4 the general=
  477.  said.
  478.  
  479. The Israeli Defense Ministry said it planned to deploy the system along its
  480. northern border to shoot down guerrilla rockets after Israel withdraws from
  481. Lebanon in the summer. A spokesman for the ministry, Dan Weinreich, said the
  482. weapon was in the final stages of testing in the United States and Israel.
  483.  
  484. Marco Morales, a spokesman for the Space and Missile Defense Command, said=
  485.  the
  486. cost to develop the system through the first attempted shoot-down was $190
  487. million.
  488.  
  489. At a briefing this week in Huntsville, Ala., on missile defense, Costello=
  490.  said
  491. developing the system over five years ``could in fact revolutionize=
  492.  warfare=B4=B4
  493. by protecting troops from rockets, mortars and other artillery. But he said=
  494.  use
  495. of lasers in rain and fog will require special experiments.
  496.  
  497. The possible deployment of the laser, though its geographic range is modest,
  498. represents a striking turnaround for an antimissile technology that was
  499. criticized as unworkable in the Strategic Defense Initiative of the 1980s.
  500. Since then, most American antimissile systems have turned to ``hit-to-kill=
  501. =B4=B4
  502. technology. That means that a rocket-propelled vehicle maneuvers toward an
  503. incoming missile to collide with it and destroy it. But the U.S. military=
  504.  has
  505. also continued long-term research and development on laser-based systems.
  506.  
  507. Those include the Israeli-American program for intercepting short-range
  508. missiles; an Air Force program to shoot ballistic missiles, such as Iraqi
  509. Scuds, using a laser on a Boeing 747 jumbo jet; and a joint venture by the=
  510.  Air
  511. Force and the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization at the Pentagon to=

  559. A powerful laser developed by Israel and the United States to shoot down
  560. rockets has passed its first test at the White Sands Missile Range in New
  561. Mexico, hitting a stationary target, American military officials said
  562. this week.<br>
  563. <br>
  564. If it is eventually deployed, the system would apparently be the first of
  565. its kind. ``To my knowledge, no nation has ever deployed an antimissile
  566. system based on a laser,=B4=B4 said Lt. Col. Rick Lehner, a spokesman for th=
  567. e
  568. Ballistic Missile Defense Organization at the Pentagon.<br>
  569. <br>
  570. Designed and built by a California contractor, TRW, for Israel and the
  571. U.S. Army, the laser and its tracking system were tested last week
  572. against stationary targets, said Lt. Gen. John Costello, commander of the
  573. U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command. Costello said the system,
  574. the Tactical High Energy Laser, would probably be tested this month
  575. against a moving Katyusha rocket. If that test is successful, he said,
  576. the system will be shipped to Israel for further testing and
  577. deployment.<br>
  578. <br>
  579. ``It will be the first engagement of the Katyusha rocket by a tactical
  580. high-energy laser, something that is militarily useful,=B4=B4 the general
  581. said.<br>
  582. <br>
  583. The Israeli Defense Ministry said it planned to deploy the system along
  584. its northern border to shoot down guerrilla rockets after Israel
  585. withdraws from Lebanon in the summer. A spokesman for the ministry, Dan
  586. Weinreich, said the weapon was in the final stages of testing in the
  587. United States and Israel.<br>
  588. <br>
  589. Marco Morales, a spokesman for the Space and Missile Defense Command,
  590. said the cost to develop the system through the first attempted
  591. shoot-down was $190 million.<br>
  592. <br>
  593. At a briefing this week in Huntsville, Ala., on missile defense, Costello
  594. said developing the system over five years ``could in fact revolutionize
  595. warfare=B4=B4 by protecting troops from rockets, mortars and other artillery=
  596. .
  597. But he said use of lasers in rain and fog will require special
  598. experiments.<br>
  599. <br>
  600. The possible deployment of the laser, though its geographic range is
  601. modest, represents a striking turnaround for an antimissile technology
  602. that was criticized as unworkable in the Strategic Defense Initiative of
  603. the 1980s. Since then, most American antimissile systems have turned to

  606. But the U.S. military has also continued long-term research and
  607. development on laser-based systems.<br>
  608. <br>
  609. Those include the Israeli-American program for intercepting short-range
  610. missiles; an Air Force program to shoot ballistic missiles, such as Iraqi
  611. Scuds, using a laser on a Boeing 747 jumbo jet; and a joint venture by
  612. the Air Force and the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization at the
  613. Pentagon to develop lasers that could be fired from space to destroy
  614. intercontinental ballistic missiles.<br>
