Tactical High Energy Laser(THEL): It was an USA-Israel prject. As I know the israelis deployed a prototype on their border.
Functionhoot down missiles, grenades
Airborne Laser (ABL): It is under develpoment by the US Airforce and the first test with high-energy laser would be in 2009.
Function: Shot down ballistic rockets, maybe airplanes
Solid-State Fiber Laser: The US Navy developing Solid-State Fiber Laser weapons, which would be working with rare-Earth materials like rbium, ytterbium, neodymium, dysprosium, praseodymium and thulium. This weapon could be fit on aircrafts.
Free Electron Laser: US Navy
Funciton: Shoot down rockets, smaller boats

Ha if you go to this link , the guy working on teh lasers is named Yamamoto.

The question which once haunted my being has been answered. The future is not fixed, and my choices are my own... and yet, how ironic! For I now find, I have no choice at all! I am warrior... let the battle be joined.-Dinobot-Code of Hero

The laser component of THEL was never deployed. The Green Oak radar, which was designed as a guiding system for THEL, is operational as part of Israel's missile defence system; it's recently been used to keep an eye on Syrian missile tests.
If Algeria introduced a resolution declaring that the earth was flat and that Israel had flattened it, it would pass by a vote of 164 to 13 with 26 abstentions.- Abba Eban.
It's actually LASER. It's an acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation, or just LASER for short.
As for the comment about us having similar technology now, that's no where close to being true. As of now, the world's most powerful LASER is only 1.3 PW (petawatts). That's probably nothing compared to the destructive power that an Asgard beam weapon has. (it is probably something more like several dozen zettawatts ((10^21 watts)) or even several yottawatts...((10^24 watts))..)

Yeah, there was a possibility and some news that Israel will deploy a THEL, but I have not know anything new about that system.
Theyre not that new, ill try and find the article online as this was in a scientific encylopedia, sometime in the 80's/early 90's when theyre was still a ikky-ness(dont judge i couldnt think of a word) of the cold war lingering the U.S.A was working on a project stupidily named; StarWars, nothing to do with the film, but to do with lasers which, if needed to, were designed to detonate nukes in the lower atmosphere before impact. Apparently they were in testing stages when the whole thing got called off because of the funding going into it.
Ill go look for the link online as my scanner for my PC's being a little picky

i know. i just said it cause, some people see every beam as a "lazer" [i want a frikkin LAZER ( to quote dr evil) ], and every pulse weapon as a pulse laser or ion cannon.

Yeah I know about this project. But with the end of the cold war and the changing of the US space policy it's cancelled. Of course USA nowadays again thinking about deploying weapons in space.
