<IMG height="82" border="2" align="right" width="100" alt="" src="http://www.aero-news.net/images/content/commav/2002/usaflogonew1_tn.gif" /></A>Members of the 413th Flight Test
Squadron, Hurlburt Field, Fla., and contractor Boeing recently
successfully fired the high-power laser aboard the Advanced
Tactical Laser aircraft for the first time in flight.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.aero-news.net/index.cfm?ContentBlockID=87a85dc0-918f-49fc-947f-eecadf025c39&"><P>The combined effort between Boeing and the 413th was
instrumental to the "first light" of the high power ATL.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.aero-news.net/index.cfm?ContentBlockID=87a85dc0-918f-49fc-947f-eecadf025c39&"><P>"This successful test is a major step toward bringing directed
energy capability to the warfighter," said Gary Fitzmire, vice
president and program director of Boeing's Directed Energy Systems.
"We have demonstrated that an airborne system can fire a high-power
laser in flight and deliver laser beam energy to a ground
target."</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.aero-news.net/index.cfm?ContentBlockID=87a85dc0-918f-49fc-947f-eecadf025c39&"><P>More tests are planned to demonstrate ATL's military utility.
The system is designed to damage, disable or destroy targets with
little to no collateral damage. These demonstrations support
development of systems that will conduct missions on the
battlefield and in urban operations.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.aero-news.net/index.cfm?ContentBlockID=87a85dc0-918f-49fc-947f-eecadf025c39&"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.aero-news.net/img/0E4945BE-A5D7-49C5-8165-17F4B15C0BB7" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.aero-news.net/index.cfm?ContentBlockID=87a85dc0-918f-49fc-947f-eecadf025c39&">"It's another case of science fiction becoming reality,"</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/A3DD9BF2-181D-4220-B6B4-70F4214BBA6B/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
