Project Integration Boeing YAL-1 in the System U.S. Missile Shield (DIEEEO09-2012)

In the last years the US Air Force and Boeing had developed what is now a key part of the complex National Missile System, the Airborne Laser, designated YAL-1, which is a completely new weapon mounted in a Boeing 747-400F Cargo, successfully tested in February 2010 off the Californian coast. The project, transferred to the Missile Defense Agency on 2002, envisions new paths for the future of the defense sector in the US and in the whole world.
