Airborne laser is a weapon developed by the US Military with Northrup Grumman. The laser is a high power (in kW region) and can be used to destroy vehicles and personnel.
This is a weapons system with an mega-watt class chemical iodine laser. It cannot be purchased by the general population or public due to this classification.
Not really. The amount of power needed is tremendous, so anything useful would be huge. Boeing has been messing around with an airborne laser gun for years. It uses a giant laser which generates a beam that passes through a set of mirrors so that it can be aimed. It takes up all the space in a B747 aircraft.

The program that utilizes laser technology to defend America against missiles is known as the Airborne Laser (ABL) program. This initiative aimed to develop a high-energy laser system mounted on an aircraft to intercept and destroy incoming ballistic missiles during their boost phase. Although the ABL program was ultimately canceled in 2012 due to technical challenges and cost concerns, it represented an innovative approach to missile defense. Current research continues in various military and defense sectors to explore advanced laser systems for similar applications.
