A joint U.S.-Israeli laser cannon can already knock down rockets in flight, but it will not be ready for battlefield use until at least 2007, an official with the American company developing the weapon said Wednesday. The system, called Tactical High Energy Laser (THEL), uses an advanced radar to spot and track incoming rockets and then fires a laser beam to destroy them. (AP 292353 Oct 03)
