I think from odd bits i have picked up over many sites is that the idea is to use the swarm idea for redundancy and communication over long distances I have not seen any specifics on radiation shielding but i think the plan is to do research like these tests in parallel with working on the lasers. Me personally i think it would be easier to launch from lasers in space due to the problems with the atmosphere. But as the cost of launching mass into space is so expensive I think that is the reason they seem to be planning ground based lasers.
Someone has to tilt at windmills.
So that we know what to do when the real giants come!!!!
