An ablative armor (a thick foam that burns off but at a high temperature might help...

Or just launch a 100 dummy missles... and see try to overwhelm the system... ]

Kind of the only way to get high enough output to actually destroy something at any kind of range, esp through the atmosphere. That is to say, you need "broad band" lasers that can be allowed to lase across any band it can find resonance with.

This is pretty common in Argon Ion lasers as well as some kinds of Helium Neon lasers, so many bands lasing in unison that it appears white to the naked eye, and lights up an IR sensor like a christmas tree.

Also, all it takes is making a hot/soft spot on the side of a missile near it's propulsion system to cause failure, which is really what they're going for. The idea that they're going to vaporize a target of any real mass with any laser system known to man currently, in 1 sec bursts, is kind of absurd.

Also, they could use it to ionize the outer surface of the missile, likely causing its guidance system to wig out.

Of course my favorite theoretical weapon (but proven mechanic) is the high energy laser that creates the ion trail for a huge capacitor bank to dump into :D tesla coil ftw
