Point defense laser

Point Defence Laser (PDL) is an ability that some units of the USA posses. The PDL is capable of "zapping" all rockets out of the sky, making it the first Military Laser Weapon in the USA Army. Some weapons, like the Scud from the Scud Launcher and the Tomahawk Missile from the Tomahawk Missile Launcher required multiple shots.

Scuds from the Scud Storm and the Nuclear Missile from the Nuclear Missile Silo where to strong to be "zapped", therefor, no unit even tried to disable the missiles.

History
Early in the GLA conflict, the Paladin was the only unit capable of the using the PDL. Because it was (and is) so advance, the General had to use an General-ability, also to prevent it to fall in enemy hands.

When the Paladin showed it's use, effective destroying Stinger Sites, the PDL was further developed, possibly mainly by General Townes.

This resulted in a large armada of Laser-Based weapons, suchs as the Laser Tank and the Laser Defense Turret, but because high expertise is required, both are only available to General Townes.
