Original Note:
The AirBorne Laser research program was aimed at using lasers to intercept ballistic missiles. However, the program was ended in 2011, and the only Boeing YAL-1 equipped with the ABL system was dismantled in 2014, due, in part, to the laser being too weak and inefficient. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_YAL-1
