Airborne Laser Test Bed takes its final flight
With the Moon serving as a backdrop for the YAL-1A Airborne Laser Test Bed aircraft Feb. 14, the aircraft's nose displays the accomplishments it had while it was tested at Edwards AFB, Calif. During its tenure here, the ALTB successfully engaged various instrumented rockets and successfully engaged and destroyed a boosting solid-fueled Terrier Black Brant rocket and a boosting liquid-fueled Foreign Military Acquisition missile in February 2010.

Airborne Laser Test Bed takes its final flight
The YAL-1A Airborne Laser Test Bed aircraft departs off Runway 22L at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., in order to make its final low approach over the Birk Flight Test Facility Feb. 14 before heading to Davis-Monthan AFB, Ariz. The ALTB, which was at Edwards for more than nine years, was a modified Boeing 747-400 Freighter that housed two solid-state lasers and a megawatt-class Chemical Oxygen Iodine Laser that could use directed energy as a viable technology against ballistic missiles..

Edwards looks toward future of testing
The YAL-1A Airborne Laser aircraft is one of the programs being tested at Edwards. Edwards is a key member of the team in building the Air Force test and evaluation roadmap. The roadmap focuses on test and evaluation capabilities across the Air Force. It identifies capability shortfalls and excesses, identifies capabilities that exist today that must be sustained for the future, identifies new test capabilities that must be developed to test new technologies and prioritizes capability and capacity needs so limited resources can be appropriately focused.
