It is the kind of technology that might prevent drone incursions into crowded stadia.
Countering large numbers of small drones will be a key defensive goal in the future.
- mycall 9y agoDrone could just take a flight path between a passenger airplane and the ground laser pods, such that shooting the laser would fry the airplane behind the drone. It isn't a great solution, when it ever works.
- grogenaut 9y agopassenger airplanes not known for going into war zones.
- nradov 9y agoNo that's not how lasers and flight paths work. It's impossible to line up aircraft so precisely.
- blhack 9y agoWhy? This doesn't make much sense to me.
- SamReidHughes 9y agoA small drone won't be able to go fast/far enough.
- foota 9y agoIf you had a battery of lasers, you should be able to cover the sky without hitting unintended targets, because the distance between the drone and plane multiples distance between the ground lasers.
