First trial on British Army vehicle for high-powered laser weapon
A lightweight portable high energy laser system is the first laser weapon integrated on a land vehicle to be fired in the UK.
The advanced capability demonstrator will help the Armed Forces understand the utility of LDEW systems against an evolving threat.
The next phase of testing will involve trials with Army personnel later this year, further evaluating the system’s capabilities and benefits in real-world scenarios.
The low cost system is fully portable and easy to operate. The system can track multiple targets at the same time.
Dstl gives the UK clear advantage across science, technology, cyber and information.
We offer expert science and technology capability allied to inside knowledge, and underpinned by deep operational understanding of defence and security needs.
This enables us to harness science and technology to give clear military and security advantage through impartial advice and solutions.

    @desild5869 Před 4 dny

    Typical ad-like presentation but the flaws are immediately obvious. How much does a wave of drones sent to take one of these out cost and how much does this thing cost and, more importantly, in a war context, how many of these things can be made daily? Think about how many ultra high tech parts are involved here and how fragile and complicated their supply chains are. It's immediately obvious this anti-drone solution is impossible to deploy anywhere close to as easily as waves upon waves of drones. Finally, consider the reaction from drone makers. This thing can hopefully track relatively predictable drones but it's super unlikely it's able to track fast, low-flying, twitchy, FPV-driven drones already in use in UA. It's obvious it doesn't just ZAP! targets. It takes a few long seconds to burn through each one. Now think how it will fare against a swarm of fast drones coming to take it out. Not well is my bet. And this is all before considering seriously advanced military drones, not the commercial repurposed ones used in UA. Pretty sure advanced militaries already have swarm navigation where 5-10 drones fly as a pack but a human operator only controls one at a time while the rest follow the leader autonomously. Such a swarm is still pretty cheap and it's impossible to take out before it reaches your expensive radar+laser+etc.

      @desild5869 There is no weapon that is perfect against everything. If it was to be used only against some low budget drones, it’s still good since it does not waste that much money on missiles. Why use expensive missiles to take down a drone worth say 1k$? Good example is Izrael and hamas, where hamas uses shitty rockets for couple hundred dollars, but isrealis Iron Dome has to use missiles worth like 50-100k$ to take them down. And regarding tracking, I think that tracking system can be very accurate and the lasers can be adjusted just as precisely and fast since they move with the speed of light.

Average elevation they fly is about 300 meters, sometimes lower sometimes much higher. But their body made of fiberglass based on epoxy resin. i thing this laser gun is one of the most perfect weapons to hit such drones.
