Any changes you make to an aircraft are necessarily exponentially more expensive than equivalent changes in any other industry.

Since lasers are being shot from the ground it means that it will always hit the cockpit window at a high angle of incidence vs the normal to the glass surface. therefore wouldn't the vast majority be reflected anyway? unless the source of very far away, but that increases dispersion. does anyone have a video of what a laser strike look like from a cockpit?
