A Cargo jet.
Brilliant.


well, it's still in testing phase, so FedEx is testing it for Northrop.
After testing, then they can begin putting them on passenger planes.


What, exactly, does the test involve? Will they start shooting missiles at
Fedex jets randomly until the system blocks all of the missiles they fire?

I hope this is a better Beta than Vista's.
