They say it's a wide beam. Is that a misinterpretation of the spectrum used or did they mean physically a wide beam, as opposed to a thin maser? That would be extremely inefficient compared to a pinpoint accurate defense, wouldn't it? I assume military drones are difficult to spot, so maybe they need a shotgun pellet approach.
- zacharycohn 3y agoJudging from the size of the dish, I assume it's a physically wide beam. That also means you don't have to aim as well, and you can - like they demonstrated in the video - point and sweep to take out a large swath at once without having to acquire each target individually.
