There was a special on the UK Science program Equinox
on this system. Its designed to shoot down SCUD like missiles
Its powered by a chemical laser using peroxide and
chlorine (or something equally hideous and lethal)
its flown and operated by very brave people.

It uses a flexible mirror to correct for atmospheric
distortion and increase its range.
