I believe this air system is going to be a game changer in air, land combat. Either way it is freaking cool.

Sweet! 

I totally forgot to call my brother-in-law who works at PAX NAS to talk to him about this! I'll have to call him tonight.

now if we could just intercept a ICBM we would be a world power again lol

We can and do. Aegis BMD.

Didn't we shoot down one of our own satellite's in orbit a couple of years back. And I believe it was the aegis cruiser.

The goal is to be sure that the ICBM pieces fall harmlessly into the sea.   We're fortunate that so far, the North Korean missiles do this on their own.
