If everything goes according to plan, an even more powerful weapon producing a 150kW beam and capable of knocking down a missile will be ready by 2007 for fitting onto an aircraft.

If it can take out missiles can it take down something like enemy jets as well?

edit: I see mirror-finish missile bodies being produced in the near future!

Won't evolve that fast. It's taken 30+ years to get to the 1kW, they have to build & proof the 15kW before they have a chance to expand to 150kW.
The jump from 15kW to 150kW is magnitudes more complex than the scale from the 1kW to the 15kW, very complex.
