I see a different function from what I saw in the trailer. OLDS (probably Orbital Laser Defense System) is an orbital laser platform. It is seen shooting at a Ulysses fragment in orbit. The shattered fragments then fall into the Earth, replicating the same effect the missiles of Megalith could do. That's why you don't get the NEO Fragment emergency mission update now, because the weapon hasn't appeared in the story. The mission would be unlocked after you do the same thing in the campaign. The thing Edge mentioned, "I've had my fill of this sight 20 years ago." Ulysses make the planetfall 20 years ago, the conclusion : They're recreating the Ulysses Disaster on the areas that survived without any scratch. It was most likely designed to clear the outer atmosphere from space junk like Arkbird did, but it also has the same capability as Megalith.
