I think I added that one, back in about 2007 when the first tests of tactical lasers were taking place.
Anti missile lasers were successfully tested
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_YAL-1
but that particular system was scrapped in 2014. I expect that anti-missile lasers will be used in combat in the next few decades, but we can't be certain when that will be. Since Luke's article doesn't mention when (or if) these systems are first used, we can certainly remove this one.
