This image provided by the U.S. Department of Defense shows an infrared image of the Missile Defense Agency’s Airborne Laser Testbed, right point, destroying a target missile, left point, on Thursday, Feb. 11, 2010. This successful test is a boost to a program that has had billions in cost overruns and saw its budget sharply cut by the Pentagon last year. The Air Force and Boeing Co. announced Friday, Feb. 12, 2010 that an airborne laser system tracked a target missile as it accelerated over the
