Yes, and it's considerably cheaper and safer too. Lasers could not
only be very effective against missiles, but perhaps even more so against
aircraft both as land/ship based AAA and fitted to any (military) aircraft
(especially fighter planes). The aircraft's engines could (partially) power
the laser.
