Airborne Laser Gun Boeing 747-400 YAL-1 Chemical Oxygen Iodine Laser Missile Defense
Courtesy: DoD Missile Defense Agency www.mda.mil The Airborne Laser Testbed operates aboard a modified Boeing 747-400, and is designed to detect, track and kill ballistic missiles in their boost phase using a high energy laser. Airborne Laser Testbed (ALTB) The Airborne Laser Testbed (ALTB) is being developed as an advanced platform for MDAs directed energy research program. Using two solid state lasers and a megawatt-class Chemical Oxygen Iodine Laser housed aboard a modified Boeing 747-400 Freighter, the ALTB uses directed energy to demonstrate the potential of using directed energy as a viable technology against ballistic missiles. Firing Sequence The Airborne Laser Testbed uses six infrared sensors to detect the exhaust plume of a boosting missile. Once a target is detected, a kilowatt-class solid state laser, the Track Illuminator, tracks the missile and determines a precise aim point. The Beacon Illuminator, a second kilowatt-class solid state laser, then measures disturbances in the atmosphere, which are corrected by the adaptive optics system to accurately point and focus the high energy laser at its intended target. Using a very large telescope located in the nose turret, the beam control/fire control system focuses the megawatt-class COIL beam onto a pressurized area of the boosting missile, holding it there until the concentrated energy compromises the structural integrity of the threat missile causing it to fail.

Air Force Rocket Launch With Several Firsts from Kodiak Alaska
A Minotaur IV rocket as the twenty-sixth dedicated small launch vehicle mission named STP-S26 for the Department of Defense's Space Test Program that was launched at 4:24 pm, AST, Nov. 19 from Kodiak Launch Complex, LP1 in Kodiak, Alaska. A team of Air Force, NASA, contractor, and Alaska Aerospace Corporation representatives took part in STP's most complex mission in over 20 years. This mission will advance the state-of-the-art of space technologies which will enhance military operational capability and further our scientific knowledge across the DoD. The S26 mission is directed by the Department of Defense Space Test Program and implements a number of capabilities aimed at enabling responsive space access for small experimental satellites and payloads. S26 has seven distinct firsts. These include: The first flight of the STP Standard Interface Vehicle; the first use of Multi-Mission Satellite Operations Center, Ground System Architecture; the first flight of the Minotaur IV Multi-payload Adapter; first use of the Hydrazine Auxiliary Propulsion System to assist the Minotaur IV in obtaining a dual orbit; the first Minotaur IV cubesat deployment; the first cubesat deployed from a free flying EELV Secondary Payload Adapter satellite and the first launch of a Minotaur IV rocket from the Kodiak Launch Complex. This mission is also a significant milestone for STP because it includes the 500th DoD Space Experiment Review Board experiment flown. The DoD Space Experiment Review ...

Study: Fuel spill's ambit expands
Every day, millions of gallons of jet fuel continue to seep deeper underground, further from its origins after decades-long pipe leak was discovered under Kirtland Air Force Base over 10 years ago. Now a study has found that the plume has created a new perimeter, previously undocumented to authorites. "Before this plume was there, the water was clean, that water was pristine," according to David Jordan, a principal hydrogeologist with Intera, a geosciences and engineering firm. Wednesday night, Intera released new numbers on the widespread contamination that originated from a leak discovered on Kirtland Air Force Base. They presented their findings at a water authority meeting. Researchers said they found contaminants many blocks north of where the base said the leak had stopped spreading. Experts say its time to start thinking about installing more testing sites. "What we have now is a situation is where we now have to put wells beyond that," said Jordan. But he's quick to point out that the well, known as the Century Well, is just a testing well and the contaminants have not reached any source of drinking water.
