So it can lock in on the sun but can it lock in on and track an aircraft? Also what's the range. I know you where posting about amateur rockets that can go dozens of miles in to the air but they are not very small and they probably will not work well as anti-aircraft weapons. What is the range of the 5 feet high version? I don't think any of the rockets shown would be effective anti-aircraft weapons, but I get your point that the technology is improving. In the future the technologies involved in making an effective anti-aircraft weapon may be so simple that they would be impossible to control. If that is the case Israel isn't the only country that has to worry. I can imagine Al-Qaida operatives launching a few missiles in to the holding pattern above a major US airport. We might have to have countermeasures installed on jumbo jets... Tim
