WASHINGTON: The US Navy has revealed anti-UAV weapon that can fire the laser from a moving vehicle, local media reported.
According to reports, the weapon fires a laser beam which can bring down the drone from the sky within a few seconds.
Enemy drones have become a major threat on the battlefield, and the US Navy hopes a roof mounted laser could be the answer.
Once drones are spotted, it can shoot them out of the sky with a high powered laser.
We’re confident we can bring together all of these pieces in a package that’s small enough to be carried on light tactical vehicles and powerful enough to counter these threats,’ said Brig. Gen. Kevin Killea, vice chief of naval research and commanding general, the Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory.
The 30kW system is expected to be ready for field testing in 2016.
