Directed Energy Systems to Counter Drone Threats

The advancement in designing and developing laser-based systems is breaking new ground in the area of laser weapon systems. Based on microwave and electromagnetic pulse (EMP) technologies to disable drones, these systems can target the electronics of UAVs, effectively jamming or frying their circuits, rendering them inoperable.

Directed Energy Systems (DES) provide a cost-effective and scalable solution to countering the growing threat posed by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) through the use of focused energy such as lasers or microwaves

Laser Weapon System (LaWS): Developed by the US Navy, LaWS is a laser-based system that has been tested on military vessels for targeting and neutralising small UAVs. It uses a high-energy laser to disable drones by heating their components.

Thanks for the interesting post. BTW: I recommend you to follow up the next webinar (for free this Thursday) which will talk about GNSS Jamming/spoofing from Septentrio. The threats as well as possible solutions and the official testing that is happening around this. https://bit.ly/3Nuiebj

Interesting. Can we set the maximum distance for safety reasons ? We do not want to disable any aircraft flying at the same trajectory but at a distance away.
