Not new, per se:
Unclear whether this new system is better; absolute laser coherence over long distances is non-trivial.

It's unclear; getting laser coherence over range in the real world is non trivial. Moreover, it's not something that can be readily done at the single photon level, which is actually the bigger limitation. Jigsaw was scaleable to getting only 10 photons per range return, using photon-counting avalanche photodiodes (APDs). Military systems can't afford to dump joules of laser energy in a realistic, tactical system.
