"Basically, battlefield lasers will arrive pretty soon (at least for the US)

This has some game engine implications for WinMBT. You can actually now shoot down artillery shells and rockets in flight; I don't know how you could represent this, except as a special "counterbattery" class which can intercept rockets, etc."

Tentatively, what's the doctrine for it?
Is it supposed to protect some high value target from artillery shells which were going to fall too close to it?
Because I have an hard time trying to imagine such system coping with a decent BM-21 barrage, for example.
