摘要

1. With formal program funding stopped several years ago, Northrop Grumman continues to use technology from early MTHEL development as a testbed and demonstrator for such programs as the U.S. Army's High Energy Laser Technology Demonstrator (HEL TD)rn2. Despite the reluctance of the Israeli government, MTHEL developers continue to push MTHEL offspring technology as a system for defense of their nation against missile attackrn3. Northrop Grumman claims that its new system, called Skyguard, has higher power than MTHEL and a larger beam, making it a more capable system.
