Project Excalibur was a Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) Cold War–era research program to develop an X-ray laser system as a ballistic missile defense (BMD) for the United States. The concept involved packing large numbers of expendable X-ray lasers around a nuclear device, which would orbit in space. During an attack, the device would be detonated, with the X-rays released focused by each laser to destroy multiple incoming target missiles. Because the system would be deployed above the Earth's atmosphere, the X-rays could reach missiles thousands of kilometers away, providing protection over a wide area.

  • El Proyecto Excalibur fue un programa de investigación de armas nucleares de Estados Unidos para desarrollar un láser de rayos-X accionado por energía nuclear como un arma de energía dirigida para la defensa en contra de misiles balísticos entre las décadas de 1970 y 1990.​ Se convirtió en parte de la Iniciativa de Defensa Estratégica (SDI, por sus siglas en inglés.)​Concebido por el científico nuclear Edward Teller, el concepto involucraba anexar un gran número de dispositivos de rayos-X de baja energía fotonica alrededor de una dispositivo nuclear. Cuando el dispositivo es detonado, se dispararían haces de rayos-x en diferentes direcciones.​ El objetivo era apuntar esos hazes para derribar misiles cerca del final, y el después de la fase de impulso. El mecanismo es llamado golpe por prop (es)
