My comment:
(a) Black Brant (rocket)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Brant_(rocket)
(a Canadian-designed sounding rocket built by Bristol Aerospace in Winnipeg,
Manitoba; with Talos and Terrier boosters as lower stages)
(b) The report states "Northrop Grumman develop the laser." So Northrop
is behind the laser in both airborne and maritime demonstrations.
