Northrop to sell laser shield 'bubble' for airports
Northrop plans to commercialize its Tactical High Energy Laser, THEL, for protecting airports and other installations from rockets, ballistic missiles and other threats.
The Skyguard system can protect the installation up to five kilometers in radius. Against shoulder-fired missiles, the range is increased to twenty kilometers.
Skyguard is only one-fourth the size of the original THEL but has higher power and a larger beam.
