Interesting, but you have to realize this is showroom advertising. The actual system would have to be proven. It is not deployed yet. It is only for air engagements; ground targets would be obscured by clouds, etc. From experience, I doubt they will do anything less than a lethal engagement.
I will have to admit, it looks pretty neat. Probably a 100-kW class beam (or less). I last read of electric lasers being developed for this application about 5 years ago, so I am behind the times (illness). Shooting down ballistic missiles would not be part of its capability. That takes a megawatt-class laser and a whole lot of senors.

Nothing to do with the Guidestones.
