What happens to laser energy that reflects off of the metal surfaces?

^^ I should imagine it would be dispersed / diffused and dissipate harmlessly , unless your very close to it.
But yeah the reflective underbelly would work wouldn't it? even if the laser is in the multi- kilowatt range?.
Or , use reinforced carbon-carbon tiles , the same as the space shuttle re entry protection system.

What about corner reflector ? That could at least mess with target tracking, and maybe even damage the laser.

I thought it was illegal to point lasers at planes...

It is .. but this is different .. this is 'tracking the target' :umbrella:

From BBC News: The US Navy has released footage of a newly developed laser wich reportedtly travels at the speed of light and can shoot down small aircrafts, such as drones.
