Directed Energy: Bird-be-gone to the max

It might not just be Boeing that gets to have all the fun with directed energy weapons if engine maker CFM has its day as king.

In a company submission (see below) to the US National Transportation Safety Board regarding accident investigation of US Airways Flight 1549 (Miracle on the Hudson), experts postulated that on-board warning systems, similar to collision preventative, TCAS, could be used for birds. 

OR, better yet, "new technologies which are being developed that can warn birds of an approaching aircraft (e.g. laser) so that the birds can take evasive action..."

EVEN better.... "or physically deter them fromi the flight path (e.g. directed energy beams)"

How cool (but incredibly inconceivable) is that idea?
