Shiny happy airplanes and all those odd laser beams pew pew'ing off the Californian coast a while back... B-2 did it all first. Small snippets lead to big discoveries if you ferret about a little.
Just so people don't forget, the B-2 test team actually had a laser module that sat in the B-2 payload bay, and could be used for LiDAR in an air to air or air to ground mode, or, it could also be used defensively.
