The Self-Protect High-Energy Laser Demonstrator (SHiELD) is a directed energy weapons development program.[1][2][3][4] The objective of this programme is to demonstrate the ability of a laser system mounted on aircraft. The program will develop and integrate a moderate power laser in a fighter-compatible pod.[5] It was reported that United States Air Force is considering getting a defensive laser weapon for fifth and sixth generation fighter jets by 2021.[6]
