1985年9月,在三个不同的时间成功地进行了有关战略防御倡议中的几项关键性激光实验。头两项实验是在新墨西哥州白沙导弹靶场高能激光试验设施上进行的激光破坏实验,两者相隔一周。在夏威夷进行的第三项成功的实验是6月份进行的以陆基激光器跟踪空中快速运动物体能力实验的继续。 In September 1985, several key laser experiments on strategic defense initiatives were successfully conducted at three different times. The first two experiments were laser sabotage experiments at the High Energy Laser Test Facility at Pak Sha Missile Range, New Mexico, separated by one week. The third successful experiment in Hawaii was the continuation of an experiment conducted in June with a land-based laser to track the ability of airborne fast moving objects.
