You may be thinking of the Patriot missile batteries. Those are impressive in and of themselves but their accuracy has been less than ideal. The Patriots can miss entirely, send the incoming missiles off course, or rain down the debris over the target. These lasers seem to be a bit better with less chance of inflicting damage on friendlies themselves.
Agree that it's awesome. The advances made even since the first Gulf War are incredible.
